Rounded body type
Round body type is a body shape in which a person has most of his weight around the tummy area (the center of the body is largest). Having a lot of tummy fat is a risk factor for "metabolic syndrome", which may lead to adult diabetes type 2. Other body shapes are apple, pear, hour glass, and slim/athletic.
