Weight gain refers to an increase in body mass, which may result from changes in muscle, fat, fluid retention, or overall growth, and occurs across diverse populations and contexts ranging from clinical nutrition to agricultural science. Research published in the International Journal of Eating and Weight Disorders addresses weight gain from multiple perspectives, including therapeutic approaches for underweight conditions such as anorexia nervosa through high-energy liquid nutrition and supplementation strategies, as well as investigations into factors contributing to excessive weight gain, such as childhood overweight and macrosomia risk factors in newborns. The journal also examines weight gain in the context of agricultural and aquaculture systems, exploring how dietary protein levels, alternative feed ingredients, and nutritional supplements affect growth performance and feed efficiency in various species including poultry, fish, and other animals. Additionally, published work considers the potential connections between childhood weight status and long-term health outcomes, as well as interventions for severe obesity including intragastric balloon treatments. This broad scope reflects the multifaceted nature of weight gain as both a desired outcome in malnutrition and growth optimization contexts and a clinical concern when excessive or unintended.
