➤ How do clinicians measure apple versus pear body fat distribution?
Clinicians commonly use waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). Measure waist at the narrowest point or navel, hips at the widest. WHR above 0.90 in men or 0.85 in women indicates central obesity. Imaging like CT or MRI quantifies visceral fat if precision is needed for clinical decisions.
