The causes of overweight are multiple and varied. Independent of the cause, however, the effect is an excess of trigylceride or fat. This excess fat is stored in fat cells distributed throughout the body. The initial response to weight gain is to increase the size of fat cells. They do so in a manner similar to a balloon expanding to accommodate increase in air or water. As weight gain continues, fat cells reach their limit in capacity for storing fat. At this point, new fat cells are formed.
The degree of overweight at which new fat cells are formed is not exactly known, but it is estimated to be approximately 50 - 60% above ideal weight. Studies which have examined fat cell size across a wide range of body weights indicate that individuals with mild obesity have increased fat cell size called HYPERTROPHIC OBESITY. Moderate obesity is characterised by both increased size and an increase number of cells. Severe obesity results in no further increase in size, but a marked increase in number - known as HYPERPLASTIC OBESITY.
