Two types of fat distribution (as far as obesity goes) are Android Obesity and Gynoid Obesity. Android is often thought of as "apple-shaped" where fat is carried above the waist (think beer gut) whereas Gynoid obesity is thought of as "pear-shaped" and fat is carried below the waist. Android is more common in men and Gynoid is more common in women. Of the two, Android poses the greatest threat because the adipose (fat) tissue builds up around the vital organs and makes you more susceptible to a wide range of diseases.
