What body type is high in estrogen?

There is no single body type that proves someone has high estrogen. Some people associate a pear-shaped or gynoid shape with higher estrogen patterns, where fat is carried more in the hips and thighs. But body shape alone cannot tell you hormone levels. Genetics, insulin resistance, age, activity level, and overall body composition also matter. Testing and symptoms are more useful than appearance.
