You must to be know what is your waist while to know what is apple shape and pear shape body build.

Waist is a composite indicator of the total fat and fat distribution and commonly used to measure the degree of abdominal obesity, especially for those with normal body mass index but much abdominal fat. Excessive waist circumference can be an independent indicator of obesity, that is to say as long as your waist circumference is more than the normal standard, even if your weight is standard, you are considered as obesity. A lot of scientific research results showed that the more fat the waist is, the higher risk of  suffering from diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia and so on.
How much is the number of suitable waist? Generally, waist of male adult had better below 85cm while waist of female should less than 80cm.
Hip and waist-hip ratio

Just as measure the the waist, you should take a place to measure hip with a soft ruler to measurethe most wide-hip circumference which is your hip circumference. Waist-hip ratio is number that the waist circumference divide by your hip circumference. If your waist-hip ratio is less than 1, it shows that your hip is greater than waist circumference while if greater than 1, waist circumference greater than your hip circumference.
Waist-hip ratio is a method of evaluation of obesity. When the waist-hip ratio: male <0.9, female <0.85 , it can be defined as central obesity (abdominal obesity).  As indicator of anthropometry, waist-hip ratio are more practical in estimating the degree of obesity than BMI.
Your body build is apple shape or pear shape?

According to the difference of body fat distribution , obese body can be divided into abdominal obesity (also known as central obesity) and pygal obesity (also known as the body type obesity).
The accumulation of fat of abdominal obesity is mainly in the abdomen and the fattest part of the body is the abdomen. The common manifestations of obesity of the male adult is that waist circumference is often greater than the hip. Judging from their appearance, the built of patients with abdominal obesity is much like apple shape, so it is also known as apple shape obesity. A study found that patients with abdominal obesity whose waist circumference is greater than the hip have higher risk of suffering from hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and the more fat waist is, the higher the risk is.

The fat of these patients generally distribute uniformly, and the fat in the hip is significantly more than the abdomen. The fatest part of the body is the buttocks, and the hip of the patient is bigger than waist-these are common in women. Patients with pygal obesity are like pear shape, so it is also called “pear shape obesity”, which have smaller harm than the apple shape obesity.
