Une prise de poids peut être rapide, et ne peut alors qu'être la conséquence d'une rétention hydrique. Elle est, en général, progressive. Elle aboutit ainsi à l'obésité. Dans l'immense majorité des cas, la prise de poids est expliquée par la notion d'un apport alimentaire excessif. Il est exceptionnel qu'elle soit uniquement pathologique traduisant un désordre endocrinien ou métabolique essentiel. 4, record 1, French, - prise%20de%20poids

La edad, al producir una disminución del metabolismo, puede causar un aumento de peso, a menos que se contrarreste con una reducción del consumo de alimentos y con ejercicios adecuados. La ganancia de peso excesiva puede ser un síntoma significativo de enfermedades endocrinas graves, así como de trastornos cardíacos o pulmonares. 1, record 1, Spanish, - aumento%20de%20peso
