Your
health is affected not only by how much body fat you have, but also by where most of the fat is located on your body. Waist to hip ratio (WHR) analyzes the relationship between your waist and hip measurements to help you understand your body-type and current health status. Most
women store their body fat in two distinct ways, often called "apple" and "pear" shapes.
These terms refer to where you carry excess
body fat - around your middle (apple) or around your hips and buttocks
(pear). Carrying excess body fat around your middle increases health risks
significantly more than carrying fat around your hips, thighs and other
areas of your body.
