male 37/40 good, 38/40 bad.

female 28/36 good, 29/36 bad,

(18/36 very good) (but Jayne Mansfield was supposedly that and she died young of OTHER causes.)

"Divide your waist size at its smallest by your hip size at its largest and you get a key to how much fat is stored in the abdomen, where it raises the risk of heart disease. The lowest healthy ratio is not yet known. But many experts agree that women with ratios of 0.8 or lower and men with ratios of 1 or lower are in good shape."
