Actually, if you're curved like an apple, you won't be healthy. That's cause abdominal fat causes health problems in both men and women.
BUT, if you're curved like a pear, then you're pretty ok.

Aiyah...
Apple shape means that your waist measurement is larger than your hip measurement. In other words, you've got a lot of abdominal fat.
Pear shape is kinda like a larger version of the hourglass except it's more bottom-heavy than the perfect hourglass.
So, for instance,
Hourglass = 36-30-37
Apple = 36-38-37
Pear = 36-30-40
Like that. -
Hey, guys! I found a neat website that gives you a Body Shape Assessment!
Yay!! I'm a Pear!!
And... here's another website that tells you more about Body Shapes and Your Health. There's also a more detailed information on the waist-hip ratio in this website.
Basically,
"Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement to get our waist-to-hip ratio."
Yippeee!!! My waist-to-hip ratio is below the ranges in the table!

My waist-to-hip ratio is between 0.72 to 0.76, cos I can't remember my hip measurement...
But that gives me 50 to 102 % higher risk of heart attackOriginally posted by Rhonda:

Mine's below 0.72. I was kinda surprised by my result but my measurements were taken just three weeks ago so, should be accurate.Originally posted by choco B:My waist-to-hip ratio is between 0.72 to 0.76, cos I can't remember my hip measurement...

Well, ChocoB, there are so many other factors that determine risk for coronary problems. This is just one of the many tests available. -
