Considering the differences in height between the sexes, it comes as a surprise that women have gotten fatter compared to men.
It's the same in the UK where women make up 3 in 4 obesity related hospital admissions. It's turning into a problem.
Uh, women's bodies are hormonally predisposed to gaining and maintaining weight.
A woman could consume the same calories, do the same diet, or have the same personal trainer as a man and still be unable to lose weight at the rate he does, if at all. Women's bodies store fat to prepare for childbirth, breastfeeding, and survival with their child in the event of hunger. That happens even if they don't have children.
That's not to mention the fact hormonal birth control (pills, IUD) cause women to gain weight. Hormonal contraception tricks women's bodies into behaving like they're already pregnant, which includes storing fat and having an increased appetite to nourish the baby.
It's a Catch-22.
