Obesity is an epidemic in the United States and in other developed
countries. More than half of Americans are overweight—including at
least 1 in 5 children. Nearly one third are obese. Obesity is on the
rise in our society because food is abundant and physical activity is
optional....

Why not try this?
Take a tape measurement and measure the bulge of your stomach*:
Male should be less than 94cm (37 inches) - {Mine is 85cm - 33.46
inches}
Female - less than 80 cm (31.5 inches).

If your measurement is more than the above... you may need to consult
your family physician to check if you are over weight...

If you are over weight, you are more likely to develop type 2
diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides,
coronary artery disease (CAD), stroke, and sleep apnea, among other
conditions.
If you lose weight, your risk for these conditions is reduced.

I am not sure what an apple-shaped person looks like. One thing for
certain, though, short, pot-bellied Hmong simply look terrible. A good
analog would be a standing Vietnamese pig. Maybe, I am pushing here.
