WHR

Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) looks at the proportion of fat stored on your body around your waist and hip. Most people store their body fat in two distinct ways: around the middle (apple shape) and around the hips (pear shape).

the general rule is: WHR (Waist-to-Hip Ratio) on or above 0.8 - you are an apple shape. WHR under 0.8 - you are a pear shape. Read more about Apples and Pears.
