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
