    Weight gain has long been an unwanted side effect of medicines commonly used to treat psychiatric conditions such as bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

    Some patients may quit their meds to avoid piling on pounds. Or if they stick to their meds and weight gain continues, they face higher risks for diabetes and liver disease.

    However, research in mice is pinpointing how this drug-link...

    Can't afford Ozempic?

    You might soon have another weight-loss option, in the form of an ingestible vibrating capsule that tricks the body into thinking the stomach is full.

    The same cannot be said of refined grains, sugary beverages or starchy vegetables. Such fo...

    More girls started puberty before age 8 during the COVID-19 pandemic, a phenomenon called precocious puberty, researchers say.

    In precocious puberty, children's bodies begin changing into adult...

    When young men pack on excess weight during their teens and 20s, they may inadvertently drive up their risk for prostate cancer later on.

    The men ranged in age from 17 to 60. Researchers initially observed that overall, partici...

    It contains a potent antihistamine called cyproheptadine, which requires a physician's prescription in the United State...

    It's no secret: The standard American diet is at the root of the obesity epidemic and many of its associated diseases.

    But why is American food so unhealthy? It's not just that Americans eat too much, which they do, but it's also what they eat that's unhealthy: fat, sugar, salt and ultra-processed foods.

    The obesity epidemic isn't slowing down anytime soon, and new research delivers even worse news: Most American adults have not only gained more weight, but they gained most of it earlier in life.

    The statistics were grim: More than half of Americans in the representative sample had gained 5% or more body weight during a 10-year period. More than one-third of Americans had gained 10% or mo...

  • Colon cancer rates are increasing for younger Americans, along with rates of obesity. Could slimming down reduce young people's risk for malignancy?

    Is your plastic water bottle widening your waistline?

    Could be.

    Older adults who maintain a steady weight as they age are less likely to experience rapid cognitive decline, regardless of how much they weigh to start, new research suggests.

    "It's a widespread idea in Western societies that as we get older, it's norma...

    A new study is highlighting yet another consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic: It has likely made it even harder for kids with obesity to manage their weight.

    Belly fat. No one wants it, but women are much harder on themselves about extra pounds wrapped around their middle than men are, regardless of how much they weigh.

    And the more they beat themselves up about their "spare tire," the more likely women are to gain weight in this high-risk area, new research suggests. Visceral (belly) fat wraps around the organs in the abdomen, and is thought ...

    You've probably heard that getting better sleep can be good for your waistline. The same appears to be true for your baby.

    "While an association between insufficient sleep and weight gain is well-established in adults and older children,...

    Obese people have a tougher time fighting COVID-19, even if they have a milder form of the virus, a new study finds.

    It's no secret that excess weight is bad for the heart. But a new study suggests that obese people who lose a substantial amount of weight may reverse the related cardiovascular risks.

    Childhood obesity was a worrisome issue before the pandemic, and now it's alarmingly worse, new data shows.

    A U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study found a "profound increase in weight gain for kids" that is "substantial and alarming," Dr. Alyson Goodman, one of the study's authors, told the Associated Press.

    For the study, researchers reviewed the medical r...

    College students often put on weight during their freshman year, and a lack of structured exercise may be largely to blame, a new study suggests.

    Weight gain is so common among first-year college students that it has spawned the phrase "the freshman 15" -- though that figure is something of a myth.

    More often, studies have found, college freshmen gain about 8 pounds over the academi...
