Apples and Pears: Does Body Shape Matter?
Apples and Pears was released earlier this year. Written by Marie Savard and Carol Svec, the book promotes a theory that many health (and weight issues) are strongly associated with a woman's body shape.
Apple and pear shape can be determined by your Waist to Hip Ratio:
If your WHR is 0.80 or lower, your body is classified as pear-shaped. If your WHR is higher than 0.80, your body is classified as apple-shaped.
Amazon provides a large excerpt from the book and it is fascinating. The author has compared a number of studies against body shape and drawn some dramatic conclusions:
In fact, virtually the only time a woman will have a heart attack before menopause is if she is apple-shaped or has diabetes...and 85 percent of women with diabetes are apple-shaped! Study after study has shown that women who are shaped like men -- apple-shaped women -- are more likely to die like men, of the same causes and at the same rates.
