Obesity is the number one cause of numerous problems, and it requires a specific approach and treatment. But, many people fail to lose weight despite their vigorous diet regimen or physical activity.

A group of scientists decided to conduct a study, and find a fitting solution to the problem. Over 4,000 individuals were involved in the research, and they were split into 6 categories:

1. Young women with fewer obesity-related health problems like type 2 diabetes
2. Male alcoholics with fewer obesity-related problems
3. Unhappy and anxious middle-aged individuals with mental and physical problems
4. Affluent and healthy elderly with optimal health, features of high alcohol intake and hypertension
5. Physically ill, but happy elderly with chronic ailments like osteoarthritis
6. Sick individuals with numerous chronic conditions, also economically deprived

This study had the only goal to solve the biggest problem in American society.

There are two types of fat: android and gynoid.

“An ‘android’ fat distribution pattern is so called because more men than women exhibit it. You may have heard it described as an ‘apple’ body type when the waist circumference is greater than that of the hips.

A ‘gynoid’ distribution is most commonly seen in women. This is what many call the ‘pear’ body shape. In this pattern, hip circumference is greater than waist circumference,” explains PositiveMed.

You have to determine the cause of your problem in order to treat it properly.
