apple shape
Globe with dimple
Apple shape describes a body type where fat accumulates primarily around the midsection, creating a rounder torso with slimmer limbs—like an apple's profile.
The term appears in fashion and health contexts: Apple shapes should avoid clingy fabrics around the waist.
Medically, apple-shaped bodies carry higher risks for heart disease and diabetes compared to pear shapes, where weight settles in hips and thighs.
