Thus, over 50% of adults in our country have problems with excessive weight, which leads to a number of unpleasant consequences:

  • risk of cardiovascular disease;
  • type 2 diabetes;
  • sleep apnea syndrome.

At the same time, after 25 years of age, there are problems with excess weight. Specialists remind that there are so-called age limits for weight gain. At the same time, the peak of weight gain is the teenage and adult periods.

If from 18-24 years the obesity rate is 22.4%, then already after 25 years, and even more so between 45 and 74 years of age, the body mass index indicators increase.

There are several factors for the manifestation of obesity. First, greater consumption of a variety of foods. Second, less physical activity and reluctance to engage in ZOJ. Third, loss of muscle mass - between 20 and 50 years of age, the body loses up to 10-15% of muscle. Fourth, a decrease in the activity of metabolism. Fifth, hormonal age-related changes. As men age, they lose 1-2% of testosterone production per year. In women with aging comes estrogen deficiency, which is exacerbated in menopause.
