What is apple-type obesity and pear-type obesity?

For those who are overweight, it is even more important to know where the weight is exceeded. Obesity figures are often divided into apple and pear.

Apple type:

That is, central obesity, or central obesity, ie, abdominal obesity, is mainly fat in the abdomen, which is referred to as the “boss belly” mentioned earlier. Because it is shaped like an apple, it is also called “apple” type obesity. Apple-type obesity refers to fat in the lumbar region. The upper body (trunk) is relatively thick and the waist curve disappears and the abdomen protrudes. A simple way to determine Apple-type obesity is to calculate waist-to-hip ratio (W/H). Waist circumference refers to the size of the xiphoid to mid-umbilical point, and hip circumference refers to the size of the most elevated part of the hip. If the male W/H is above 1.0, women are called Apple obesity above 0.8.

Pear type:

The other is systemic obesity, which includes obesity in the legs and buttocks, pears in shape, and also known as "pear" type obesity. Pear-shaped human hip and thigh fat is too much, that is, fat is mainly deposited in the buttocks and thighs, the upper body is not fat, lower body fat, shaped like pear-shaped. Pear-type obesity mainly accumulated in the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and other parts of the body, the upper body is narrow and wide. Most of these patients are obese or obese since childhood, and postpartum obesity and middle-aged women are mostly of this type.

Harmful: all harmful, Apple-type larger

Both types of obesity are risk factors for diabetes. But the two types of obesity have different physical harms. The same weight of obesity, if the relative concentration of fat in the abdomen, is much greater than the hazards distributed throughout the body. Because belly fat is more metabolically active than other parts of the body, it is easier to get into the blood system, which can lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity. In addition, the fat of apple-type obesity is surrounded by important organs such as the heart, liver, and pancreas, so the risk of coronary heart disease, fatty liver, and diabetes is much greater than that of pear-type obesity. Some people found that obese people are 3.7 times more likely to suffer from diabetes, while apple-type obese people are 10.3 times more likely to develop diabetes.

Of course, compared with non-obese people, pear-shaped obesity is still quite dangerous, and is only slightly smaller than Apple-type obesity. Experts pointed out that abdominal fat should be reduced as much as possible. Well, it is irrelevant if there is an increase in fat in the muscles. Pear-type obese people also have much more fat in their muscles than those who are not fat. The more fat there is in the muscles, the heavier the insulin resistance and the greater the damage. Therefore, compared with the pear-type obesity, the three are better than the apple-type ones, not fat and better than the pear-type ones.
