Who is more overweight men or women?

Answer 1

Women are more prone to the gain of fat, because that's the way GOD naturally built them. Though over eating, poor dieting and laziness, is probably more pone to men. Don't take this offensively or automatically disbelieve me because I am a man. Anyways, the perfect amount and combination of both can make the perfect obese person!

FAT GAIN + OVER EATING, POOR DIETING AND LAZINESS = OBESITY

Answer 2

It is generally thought that obesity problems are problems of lifestyle. There are more and more studies that also suggest a link with some hereditary factors as well. Body type and shape is an inherited trait with links to various diseases and health risks that may also play a role in the development of obesity.

Although the predisposition may "lie in wait" from genetic factors, the prevention and "cure" can come from a change in lifestyle, to include appropriate diet and exercise.

Take two families: the first family doesn't like going outside or exercising, they eat a lot of junk food for their meals and are in the habit of frequent snacking (never even heard of a healthy food), and are always watching TV and otherwise have a sedentary lifestyle. The second family is different: they have never tried a bit of junk food in their lives, nor watched a television show. At their house, it's all about healthy foods and habits, and the family exercises and gets outside for physical activities all the time. It would clearly be the first family that is at a much higher risk for obesity. == ==

Answer 3

I know we hate to read it, but its women. Im 17 years old, and I had to do a 9 paragraph essay on "Which people group is fattest, and why". People group means many different things of course such as, ethnicity, age, and gender. As women now a days live much more fast paced lives, they have no time to cook meals at home, causing them to eat a lot more fast food, which leads to thoe excess pounds that we try forever to get rid of. Also, if youre of ethnicity and also a women, youre in double danger to be or become obese, and even MORE SO, if youre young, ethnic, and a women, watch what you eat! So ultimately, I hate to say it, but its women.

Answer 4

It's a little bit harder for women. Men usually have more muscle mass, which means they can burn more calories exercising. They also use up more energy simply staying alive which means they can afford to eat more and still lose weight.

Answer 5

Women do because they have a layer of fat for a purpose (you can't see it when younger in most cases.) Women also have many hormone changes in their bodies. As we grow older our thyroid, etc., slows down and both men and women can pack on the weight, but because the man hasn't got that layer of fat they can lose weight much faster than women. Stinks! LOL

Answer 6

Well basically both genders suffer more of obesity. More of women are suffering every day because they never intend to diet ever. Same with men but they intend to try every year.

Answer 7

i would say women because most women are short most men are tall and when you are fat you get fat then heavy then when you get a little taller you lose weight

Answer 8

people with bad diets
