Do We Make More Fat Cells as We Get Older?
A common question that arises with age is whether our bodies produce more fat cells. The answer may surprise you. Generally, the number of fat cells in your body remains stable after adolescence. While your body doesn’t typically create more fat cells as you age, the fat cells you already have can grow larger. This means that weight gain occurs because these existing fat cells expand, not because your body is making additional fat cells.
Why Does Fat Seem Harder to Lose as We Age?
As we age, our body’s metabolism naturally slows down. Hormonal changes, particularly after menopause or due to reduced testosterone levels, can make it easier to gain weight, especially in the abdominal area. Additionally, lifestyle factors, such as decreased physical activity and muscle loss, also contribute to slower fat loss.
While you don’t gain more fat cells, they redistribute and enlarge, particularly around the abdomen, hips, and thighs. This can create the appearance of weight gain, making it harder to keep fat off or lose weight with diet and exercise alone.
