In a Pacific island (Polynesian) population exposed to Westernized food-stuffs and sedentary life during adulthood, the fat cell size in the gluteal region in obese men was 71% higher than in age-matched nonobese controls. Rough estimations of body fat from anthropometric measurements suggest that the obesity of these men were mainly due to fat cell enlargement. Increased blood glucose and plasma lipids were associated with the obesity.
在一个成年后接触西方化食物且生活方式久坐不动的太平洋岛屿（波利尼西亚）人群中，肥胖男性臀区的脂肪细胞大小比年龄匹配的非肥胖对照组高71%。通过人体测量对体脂进行的粗略估计表明，这些男性的肥胖主要是由于脂肪细胞增大。血糖和血脂升高与肥胖有关。
