FAT DISTRIBUTION.
Analyze your Waist-to-Hip Ratio and health risk
The Importance of Fat Distribution
Your Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) goes beyond overall weight by analyzing exactly where your body stores fat. Weight carried around your midsection (visceral fat) is a much stronger predictor of cardiovascular issues and metabolic syndrome than fat stored around the hips.
Assessing Your Risk Level
- Low Risk (Pear Shape): Indicates a healthier fat distribution (WHR ≤ 0.80 for women, ≤ 0.95 for men).
- Moderate Risk: Fat is starting to centralize. A great time to review dietary habits and daily activity.
- High Risk (Apple Shape): Indicates higher visceral fat, signaling a need for proactive lifestyle and fitness changes.
