Increased age promotes the development of obesity, which is reflected by an increased incidence of pathological overweight in the elderly.
These ageing-related processes are not only accompanied by increased formation of white adipocytes in normal fat depots but also by the ectopic * accumulation of such lipid- and fat-storing cells in many different types of tissue , thus reducing their regenerative capacity .
At the same time, the capability to form brown adipocytes decreases with increasing age.

Dabei sind die Alterungsprozesse nicht nur von vermehrten Ablagerungen weißer Adipozyten ( Fettzellen ) in den regulären Fett-Depots begleitet.Sie tragen auch zu ektopischen * Lipid- bzw. Fettzell-Ansammlungen in vielen Gewebstypen bei, was deren Regenerationsfähigkeit verringert.
Zugleich nimmt mit zunehmendem Alter die Fähigkeit ab, braune Adipozyten zu bilden.
