Women love to pursue a slim figure, but when they are old and sit for a long time and wait for bad habits, their figure is prone to bends and turns into a "pear-shaped" shape, with fat piled up on their thighs; some people will also accumulate on their abdomen. A study pointed out that if fat is accumulated in the abdomen, the risk of cardiovascular disease is much higher than that of lower limbs.

A study in "European Heart Magazine" began in the mid-1990s, investigating 2,500 healthy women aged 18 to 25, and following them for 18 years. The results show that women with a lot of abdominal fat and low leg fat (commonly known as an apple-shaped body) have more than triple the risk of heart disease and medium-style fever than those with less abdominal fat and more leg fat (pear-shaped body).

{Researchers say that it is not clear why this is related, nor is it clear whether there are specific diets or exercises that can specifically reduce abdominal fat, but generally advice on healthy nutrition and exercise is still applicable, and women with "apple-shaped bodies" should try to lose abdominal fat.

However, women with "pear-shaped" figure should not be ignored. In his writing "Apple and Pear: A solution to weight loss and healthy body shape", Marie Savard (MD), a female health expert, pointed out that women with pear-shaped figure are prone to diseases such as bone retardation and static convulsions, so if you want to be healthy, you need to pay attention to both the waist and hips.
