    Glossary Weight Gain

    increase in body weight due to muscle, fat, or fluids

    Weight gain, also known as weight increase or putting on weight, refers to an increase in body weight. This can result from an accumulation of muscle mass, fat deposits, or excess fluids such as water. Factors contributing to weight gain include dietary habits, physical activity levels, hormonal imbalances, and certain medical conditions or medications. Understanding the underlying causes is crucial for both laypersons and professionals to address and manage weight gain effectively.
