Increasingly there is an emphasis on abdominal obesity as it has a higher correlation to disease risks, largely because of the higher correlation to visceral fat.
Having said that, there also seems to be an insane drive in lots of areas to remove any distinction between men and women. It's as if by pretending that there aren't any fundamental differences we can somehow make them go away.
