Study: Women who are pear-shaped may be healthier than apple-shaped
In contrast, the top 25 per cent of women with the greatest proportion of fat stored in their legs had a 40 per cent lower risk of CVD compared with women who stored the least fat in their legs.
The researchers found that the highest risk of CVD occurred in women who had the highest percentage of fat around their middle and the lowest percentage of leg fat - they had a more than three-fold increased risk compared to women at the opposite extreme with the least body fat and the most leg fat.
When women reach the menopause, they can undergo changes in their body shape and metabolism; more fat may be stored around the organs in the body rather than underneath the skin. In addition, the distribution of body fat is determined by both genetics and exposure to environmental factors, such as diet and exercise.
