During a cardiovascular health screening, a patient is found to have a waist measurement of 81.6 cm81.6 \text{ cm}81.6 cm and a hip measurement of 85.0 cm85.0 \text{ cm}85.0 cm.
Calculate the waist-to-hip ratio for this patient, and use the data in Table 1 to estimate their 10-year risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

| Waist-to-hip ratio | Estimated 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease (%) |
