What's the difference between a person with a big butt and a person with a small butt? Which type of person is healthier

Body shape is sometimes a standard for measuring health. Different body shapes reflect different health information. For most people, the size of the buttocks is related to beauty and sexiness. Small buttocks tend to be drier and lack curves. Moreover, large buttocks often mean that the buttocks are fuller, and the body curve is also relatively plump. Most Europeans and Americans regard the buttocks as beautiful. It is also believed that a woman with full buttocks represents good health, and such a woman has better fertility. What's the difference between people with big butts and people with short butts? On this day, we will start from a health perspective.

Hip Size Linked to Obesity

Butt size has a lot to do with the amount of body fat. Generally, people with smaller butts, have less fat, less body fat, bigger butts, and usually a higher body fat percentage. However, this way of judging is too absolute. After all, there are all kinds of body types. Some people have small buttocks, but the fat content in other parts of the body is high and the body weight is relatively large. Some people have big buttocks, But the limbs are very slender. To further analyze the relationship between hip size, obesity and health, we introduce the concept of waist-to-hip ratio.

Waist-to-hip ratio is the ratio of a person's waist circumference to hip circumference. Divide the waist circumference by the hip circumference. The smaller the value, the lower the obesity rate and the healthier the body. Under normal circumstances, the waist-to-hip ratio is 0.67-0.8 for women and 0.85-0.95 for men. According to the difference of waist and hip, we divide people's body shape into the following categories.

H-shaped body (smaller hips, smaller waist and shoulder width)

This type of body shape is mostly thin from head to toe. The shoulders, waist, and hips that best show the body curves have almost no difference in size and width. The whole person looks straight and slender, with almost no body curves. . Such people are usually thinner and not affected by obesity problems, but relatively speaking, people of this size have a higher risk of heart disease.

Pear figure (big buttocks, thick legs, thin waist)

People with a pear-shaped body are mostly partially obese. Most of their body fat is concentrated below the buttocks. The visual effect is that the buttocks are obviously big and the thighs are relatively thick. Many women belong to this figure. People with a pear-shaped body generally have less abdominal fat accumulation, relatively stable cholesterol levels, a lower risk of arteriosclerosis, and a lower incidence of heart disease and diabetes than people with an H-shaped body. However, a pear-shaped figure can easily lead to poor blood circulation in the lower extremities, and the risk of varicose veins will also increase.

Apple body shape (big butt, big waist, thin legs)

For people with this type of body, most of the fat is concentrated in the center of the body, that is, the abdomen and buttocks, and usually has a high content of visceral fat. This situation is relatively dangerous, and Asians are more prone to central obesity. Abdominal bloating and excess visceral fat increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, the body's metabolism is more disordered, and inflammation often occurs in the body. Women with an apple figure also have a higher risk of gynecological diseases.

Therefore, people with big buttocks are not necessarily healthier. It should be judged based on the overall body shape. If the buttocks are too small, the body fat rate is too low, and people are prone to illness. But big buttocks are sometimes a symbol of obesity. Once a person suffers from obesity, various health problems will follow. Do more exercise in your daily life, don't sit for a long time, don't develop a bad habit of sitting for a long time, ensure the blood circulation of the abdomen, buttocks, and lower limbs, and keep healthy.
