其中，男性肥胖率普遍高出女性。
南方也并非没有丰满的人，但普遍低于北方地区。南方省份与直辖市肥胖人群最多的前五名是：江苏、云南、湖南、贵州和重庆。
专家分析南北肥胖差异的原因，可能是南方人饮食清淡，讲究原汁原味，配料与佐料少。北方菜系油盐重，碳水摄入量多。
不管是什么原因，过度肥胖肯定会影响我们的生活，对我们的心脏、血压和内分泌都会有负面影响。
同学们仍处于青春期，不需要过度控制体重，但也要注意饮食营养均衡，定期运动，让自己保持最健康的状态。
说到胖，我们第一个想到的词肯定是fat。
用fat表示胖当然没有错，但是fat指的是：
having a lot of flesh on the body
有很多赘肉
而且，fat常被用作贬义词，暗含侮辱他人好吃懒做的意思。
如果我们要形容某人比较胖，可以根据实际情况用这几个词：
overweight
adj. 超重的
Overweight is another, sometimes more polite, way of saying fat. Overweight focuses on how much a person weighs, but also implies that the person weighs more than what is considered average for unhealthy reasons.
overweight是“胖”的更礼貌的说法。overweight强调人的体重，也意味着某人由于不健康的原因体重超过了平均水平。
例句：
People who are overweight run a risk of a heart attack or stroke.
超重的人有犯心脏病和中风的危险。
She's revoltingly overweight.
她胖得让人难以忍受。
obese
adj.肥胖的，臃肿的
/ oʊˈbiːs /
If someone is extremely fat in a way that is often thought to be bad for their health, you could use the word obese. Obese is used in medical contexts.
如果某人非常胖，已经到了对健康有害的程度，你可以用obese 这个词。词汇obese一般用于医学语境。
例句：
A BMI greater than 30 is considered obese.
体重指数超过30则被认为是肥胖。
Obese people tend to have higher blood pressure than lean people.
肥胖的人往往比瘦人血压高。
plump
adj.胖乎乎的，丰满的
/ plʌmp /
Plump is a polite way of saying that someone is fat.
plump是形容某人胖的一种礼貌说法。
例句：
He pushed a plump little hand toward me.
他向我伸出一只胖乎乎的小手。
She's not thin—if anything she's on the plump side.
她并不瘦—其实她还有点胖呢。
chubby
adj.圆胖的，丰满的
/ ˈtʃʌbi /
Chubby is often used about children who are fat in a pleasant and attractive way.
Chubby常被用来形容招人喜欢、有吸引力的小胖孩。
例句：
He had twined his chubby arms around Vincent's neck.
他胖乎乎的双臂搂住文森特的脖子。
Babies have these big, protruding foreheads, an upturned little nose, chubby cheeks and big eyes.
婴儿有大而突出的额头，朝上的小鼻子，胖胖的脸颊，大大的眼睛。
corpulent
adj.肥胖的
/ ˈkɔːrpjələnt /
Corpulent is a formal word that means fat.
corpulent是一个肥胖的规范表达。
例句：
He was a large and corpulent individual, surfeited with good clothes and good eating.
他是个高大而肥胖的人，穿得好，吃得好。
The corpulent primates serve as useful models, experts say, because they resemble humans much more than laboratory rats do, not only physiologically but in some of their feeding habits.
专家说，肥胖的灵长类动物可以作为有用的模型，相比实验室的小白鼠，无论在生理结构上还是摄食习性上，它们同人类都更为近似。
portly
adj.肥胖的；魁伟的
/ ˈpɔːrtli /
If an older man is fat, you could describe him as portly.
如果一个年长的男人很胖，你可以用portly来形容他。
例句：
The general is a portly old man.
那位将军是位身材魁梧的老人。
Do you know the portly gentleman over there?
你认识那边那位胖胖的先生吗？
big-boned
adj.骨胳大的
有的人天生骨架比较大，外形看上去比常人更大一些，也更容易显胖。我们在形容这样的人的时候，用以上的词就不够准确了。
例句：
His mother said that he was just big boned.
他的妈妈说，他只是骨架比较大而已。
I'm not fat, I'm big boned.
我不胖，我只是骨架大。
gain/ increase/ put on weight
体重增加
在某段时间内长胖了，可以说“体重增加了”，那就是“gain/ increase/ put on weight” 。
例句：
I'm forever on a diet, since I put on weight easily.
我一直在节食，因为我的体重很容易增加。
Men tend to put on weight in middle age.
男人到了中年体重往往会增加。
go up a size
尺码大了
或者更委婉一点，用“衣服尺码变大了”表示发胖，便是“go up a size”。
例句：
In fact, I need to go up a size.
事实上,我胖了要买大一码。
I have to go up a size after being a stay-at-home for such a long time.
宅了这么久，我需要买比平时大一号的衣服了。
关于“瘦”的英文表达
thin表示“（人或身体部分）瘦的”，但有时候有暗示某人瘦削、单薄的意思。用英语说某人瘦了，还可以用下面这些表达。
slim
adj.苗条的，纤细的

与thin相比，slim描述的“瘦”更正面，是一种苗条健康的瘦。

例句：

例句：
