Pear shaped woman & Apple shaped woman









A woman who has abdominal circumference more than 80 cm has central (abdominal) obesity.  Her body weight may be in normal range.



Pear shaped woman:

  • Fat is deposited in buttocks and hips
  • No deposition of fat around abdomen
  • Abdominal circumference at the level of navel is 80 cm or less
  • No risk of diabetes or heart disease






Apple shaped woman:

  • Larger waist and carry a lot of weight around the abdomen
  • Abdominal circumference is much more than 80 cm (it is between 95 to 100 cms)
  • More risk of diabetes and heart disease



Pear-shaped women are healthier than Apple-shaped women 


Waist -to-hip ratio:

Measure around the widest part of your hip and the narrowest part of your waist (just above the navel)

Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement

Waist -to- hip ratio should be less than 0.85 

The ratio greater than 0.85 is a risk factor for diabetes and hear disease.
Apple shaped women have higher waist to hip ratio


More and more women are becoming Apple shaped with a high waist- to- hip ratio and are suffering from diabetes or heart attack

 .P.S.

Women are not aware of abdominal obesity.

Even if they are told about it they may not take it seriously
It needs great efforts and a very disciplined lifestyle.

Average woman will just accept it and do nothing about it
