Scientists Discover , Hidden Indicator of Future , Weight Changes.<br/>'Newsweek' reports that scientists <br/>may have found a way to predict weight <br/>gain or loss from the size of fat cells. .<br/>Researchers from Sweden's Karolinska Institutet <br/>measured the size and number of fat cells <br/>in the abdominal fat of 260 volunteers. .<br/>The team found that after an average <br/>of 15 years, those with larger fat cells tended <br/>to lose weight, while those with smaller fat <br/>cells were more prone to gaining weight.<br/>We can only speculate as to <br/>why the size of a person's fat cells <br/>seems to predict their future weight, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine <br/>at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.<br/>Body weight decreases when energy <br/>expenditure exceeds intake and the <br/>body burns off fat to compensate. , Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine <br/>at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.<br/>Our results suggest that the loss <br/>of large fat cells makes more <br/>of an impact on weight <br/>than the loss of small ones, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine <br/>at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.<br/>Peter Arner, one of the lead researchers on the study, <br/>notes that smaller fat cells have also been found <br/>to be linked to a better metabolic profile. .<br/>This means that if someone with <br/>small fat cells does gain weight, <br/>it may not raise their risk of <br/>conditions such as type 2 diabetes <br/>and high blood pressure as much <br/>as if they had large fat cells, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine <br/>at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.<br/>'Newsweek' reports that the team hope their <br/>findings will help develop more personalized weight <br/>management strategies for people in the future.<br/>It could be of great clinical <br/>value to have information <br/>about fat cell size before starting <br/>a weight-management program, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine <br/>at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'.<br/>If it is the case that those with <br/>large fat cells find it easier to <br/>lose weight, those with smaller <br/>cells could be given extra support, Peter Arner, a professor in the Department of Medicine <br/>at the Karolinska Institutet, via 'Newsweek'
