As a consequence, childhood and adolescent obesity are generally hyperplastic in nature, whereas adult obesity is usually hypertrophic in nature. Hyperplastic obesity tends to be more difficult to work off and keep off because of the presence of many, very small-sized fat cells after weight loss.

Adolescent hyperplastic obesity, in particular, is usually more permanent, which indicates how important it is to prevent obesity from developing during this critical time-frame. Unfortunately, these methods require much more effort, determination, and time than a visit to the doctor's office.
