Question
Is it possible for someone who is 160 cm tall, weighs 106 kg, and has a waist circumference of 64 cm to have broad hips along with O-shaped legs? If diagnosed, what treatment should be taken?
Answer
The treatment for broad hips and O-shaped legs should be tailored to individual circumstances. Firstly, understanding the characteristics of different body types is crucial for formulating treatment plans:
- Pear-shaped body type: This type has a slender upper body but fuller buttocks and thighs.
- Straight body type: Commonly seen in models, characterized by slender limbs but lacking distinct body curves, especially an undefined waistline.
- Strawberry-shaped body type: The upper body is fuller, the legs are relatively slender, and the body shape is inverted triangle, colloquially known as ’tiger back, bear waist'.
- Apple-shaped body type: Mainly characterized by excess fat around the waist and abdomen, commonly seen in individuals with a beer belly.
- Hourglass body type: Features broad shoulders, a slender waist, slender legs, and a small hip, presenting a small inverted triangle shape, which is an ideal body type for many women.
