Body Type Calculator

Body Type Calculator

Females may use the Body Type Calculator to determine their “body shape,” which can be used to generate outfit ideas. Even while some studies have linked particular body shapes to specific health concerns, the body shape result of this calculator is not meant to be taken seriously as a health indicator or an ideal that must be fulfilled. Instead, the waist-hip ratio, which is also included in the calculator’s findings, is a more accurate predictor of health.

What is the best way to take measurements?

To correctly establish your body type, our body shape calculator requires four measurements. For the body fat calculation, you may use the measurements you took.
With a delicate measuring tape, measure your bust at its fullest point. Breathe in and out to make sure the tape isn’t too tight. The narrowest area of your body is your waist. The measuring tape you bring around your waist should fit snugly against your skin but not “dig” into it. Also, don’t pull your stomach in.
Hips: The broadest spot below your waist is where you measure your hips. Remember to take off your clothes and keep your feet together to acquire the most accurate measurement possible. This is a hip measurement that is performed at a different location than the previous one. It’s taken from the top of the hip curve, not the broadest! The higher bulge of your hip must be localized over your pelvic bone.
It makes no difference whatever units you choose to measure; our body type calculator works with both imperial and metric measurements.

What body type am I?

Our body shape calculator will categorize you into one of the seven most common body types. Naturally, not every woman who falls into one of these categories is the same.
Hourglass: a balanced and harmonious physical form. The waist is strongly defined, and the breast and hips are proportionate and well-balanced. The top hourglass has a finely defined waist, comparable to the standard hourglass. Your breast seems to be bigger than your hips.
Bottom hourglass: This body shape, like the top hourglass, has a sharply defined waist. The size of your chest is smaller than the size of your hips.
Spoon: Your hips are substantially bigger than your bust if you’re a spoon. Your hips have a shelfy aspect, and your waist is well defined. Triangles have a narrow upper torso and large hips (typically wider than the shoulders). Their waistline isn’t defined. Inverted triangles have a slim waist and a correspondingly wider upper torso than straight triangles. Your shoulders and breast are big, and your hips are narrow.
Rectangle: This is a “boyish” body shape, with hips, waists, and busts that are all around the same size. Your physique seems to be well-balanced and athletic.

FAQs

Which body type is the most common?

A rectangle is the most frequent body shape, accounting for 46% of women. A lady who has a waist that is less than nine inches smaller than her hips or bust is described as a rectangle. The bottom-heavy spoons,’ who have hips that are two or more inches bigger than their busts, come next. These women make up around a quarter of the female population. The inverted triangle is the third group, accounting for around 14% of the population. Women whose busts are three inches or bigger than their hips fall into this category. Finally, there are the hourglasses, women with a slimmer waist and about equal hip and breast measurements. These ladies make up around 8% of the population.

Does the contour of a woman’s body alter as she gets older?

Yes, the concentrations of hormones in a woman’s body shift as she matures, causing her body form to change.
Puberty brings about the first changes. The hip-waist ratio of prepubescent boys and girls is identical, but the huge levels of estrogen generated during puberty lead a female’s hips to broaden and breasts to grow. Fat is also accumulated in the buttocks, thighs, and hips as a result of estrogen. Estrogen levels increase during pregnancy, leading the breasts to expand, however, this is usually corrected after the pregnancy. Reduced estrogen levels cause a woman’s breasts to shrink, as well as fat redistribution to the waist or belly, as she enters menopause.

Is it possible to modify your physical shape?

After puberty, it’s very hard to modify your body form since your bone structure and proportions are mostly set. However, certain adjustments may be done. If you’re a premenopausal woman, fat gain or loss will affect the size of your buttocks, thighs, and hips; if you’re a male or a postmenopausal woman, fat gain or loss will affect the size of your waist and abdomen. Gaining muscular mass is another technique to change your shape; by focusing on certain muscle parts, you may highlight them, such as your shoulders to make them seem more athletic, or your hamstrings and glutes to make your legs appear longer.

What is the definition of a zero figure?

In the United States, a zero figure, often known as a size zero, is a women’s clothing size. Depending on the design and manufacturer, it fits bust/waist/hips measurements ranging from 30 22 32 inches (76 56 81 cm) to 36 28 36 inches (90 71.5 90 cm). It was originally a size 8 in 1958, but owing to vanity sizing, it is now referred to be a size 0 nowadays. Anorexia is often connected with a zero figure. Please see a doctor if you or those around you are concerned that you may be underweight.
