Weighty matters for men showing on hips and bums

WEIGHT is going pear-shaped for men because of a big increase in the size of their hips and bums, according to research.

Men’s hips have grown by two inches in the past 30 years and if the trend continues, the average size of the male girth could be 42 inches.

Weight problems have moved from beer bellies to affect bums, hips and thighs.
