Question

Which condition is related to an increase in the size and number of fat cells in the body?

Answer 1

The correct answer should be d. hypertrophic obesity
However, a more correct answer would be a combination of C and D because the hypertrophic type is when obesity occurs due to an increase in the size while hyperplastic is when their number increases. Since it's only mentioned here as hyperplasia, only hypertrophic should be the answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B and D

Explanation:

In case of hyper cellular obesity, the total number of fat cell increases and is mainly found in people whose BMI <40 kg/m2. This mainly occurs in people who gain weight during early childhood or adolescent age and thus it is highly variable as compared to any other obesity type.

While in case of hypertrophic obesity, the size of existing fat cell increases.  

Hence, both option B and D would be the correct answer
