"In the U.S., approximately 50 percent of people who have ever had a child will gain weight at some point in their life. At 4 years of age, overweight and obesity rates are increasing. Children of overweight and obese parents are at risk for being overweight and obese. In older teenagers and adults, obesity also is increasing and has significant health consequences. In women, the rise in obesity is affecting health through a range of detrimental health effects, including type 2 diabetes, obesity-related cancers, and osteoarthritis.

"It is difficult to classify weight gain as secondary to a general or specific cause. Factors that increase the rate of weight gain are not clearly understood, but include the following: increased physical activity, a diet high in animal and sugary foods, exercise-induced hypoglycemia, and a sedentary lifestyle. In the majority of cases when patients were asked the leading cause of weight gain, they cited diet and exercise as the cause. These data suggest that patients and health professionals need to understand diet and exercise as possible causes of weight gain." - Anonymous Online Contributor
