The doctor named two types. He noted that they distinguished the gynoid type mainly when fat was deposited on the hips; such a figure is popularly called a “pear”. There is also a second type – android – slight deposition of fat on the waist and legs; such a shape is often called an “apple”. Only the second type is the most dangerous.
Neumerzhitskaya said that being overweight, and obesity in particular, is fraught with metabolic syndrome—a group of risk factors that are mainly high blood pressure, high blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and being overweight. These factors often occur together and increase the likelihood of serious illness.
According to the doctor, if a man’s waist is more than 94 cm and a woman’s waist is 80 cm, it is a reason to go to the doctor, as these figures are critical and speak of metabolic syndrome.
“Android-type obesity is dangerous, because visceral fat envelops not only the outside, but also the internal organs, can compress the liver, heart, which leads to various comorbidities,” warned the doctor.
