Who Gets Fat?

Some get fat, some do not get fat. This fact forms the basis for identifying individuals who are prone to become obese.

The prevailing characteristics, which can help in identifying those individuals who are prone to be obese can be visualized as 

  • Sex
  • Age
  • Occupation
  • Race
  • Ethnicity
  • Socioeconomic status
  • Level of education
  • Family history of obesity
  • Habitat
  • Dietary habits and
  • Smoking and drinking habits.

Other features include the physical attributes such as stature, body frame size and muscle mass. Among women, parity and also habitual use of oral steroid contraceptives are a matter of consideration for becoming fat. At times, medications also determine the course of weight gain or loss.
