The "ideal" shape is often debated, but many experts and public surveys point to specific ratios:

: The gluteus maximus is the largest muscle in the human body, providing essential support for the spine and aiding in posture and movement.

: Fat stored in the buttocks (gluteofemoral fat) is generally considered "safer" than abdominal fat. It lowers the risk of metabolic diseases because it traps fatty acids that could otherwise cause inflammation or insulin resistance.
