What is Android/Gynoid fat mass ratio?

The Android/Gynoid Ratio (A/G Ratio) is the ratio of percent Android fat to percent Gynoid fat. Percent Android fat is the percentage of fat in your Android region.  Percent Gyndoid fat is the percentage of fat in your gynoid region. A/G Ratio is a pattern of body fat distribution that is associated with risk for metabolic syndrome.

People can have similar body fat percentage values with different fat distribution patterns. Better health outcomes are generally associated with lower A/G ratios. Higher A/G Ratio values are directly correlated to the prevalence of dangerous visceral fat and therefore associated with increased risk of health complications.

Android/Gynoid Ratio tends to increase with age for both males and females.
