What does it mean to be “apple” or “pear” shape?
People with a “pear” shape tend to store fat in their hips and buttocks.
People with an “apple” shape store fat around their waists.
Measure to know
Women with a waist measurement of more than 35 inches or men with a waist measurement of more than 40 inches have a higher health risk because of their fat distribution.
Why does it matter?
If you are an apple, you may have an increased risk for the following:
Heart disease, Hypertension, Stroke
Diabetes, Elevated blood lipids
Obesity can also affect medical care. Too much fat can obscure imaging tests, like X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). For example, in an ultrasound, the beam
may not be able get through layers of fat to get an image of a person’s appendix, gallbladder, or kidneys. Too much body fat can make it harder for a doctor to make a medical diagnosis and treat a patient.
