How body type is calculated
The comparison uses bust-to-hip and waist-to-bust/hip proportions with a small tolerance band to identify balanced, pear, inverted-triangle, or straighter silhouettes. A larger hip measure than bust tends toward the pear-shaped fit category in this simple rule set.

Assumptions & useful context
Informal clothing-fit description only; thresholds are simple heuristics and do not describe health.
Health calculations are estimates for education. They cannot diagnose a condition or replace a clinician’s assessment. Individual needs vary, especially during pregnancy, illness and growth.
