But know about result of recent research . It says that in the old age the fat cells remain constant during the life time . But how ever body weight can become less or more .

Study has also pointed out that the process of increase of body weight is different in adults and in the children . The research scientist Kristy Spalding of Caroliniska institute at Stockholm says that in children , body weight increases because of increase in the number of fat cells . It is difficult to reduce the body weight after it increases in the childhood . In the study the fat cell composition of 687 persons was examined .
