Why do people get fat when they reach middle age?
Mainly because with the increase of age, metabolic function slows down.

Because resting metabolism will slow down with age, and decrease by 1%-2% every 10 year. At least for women, what is worse is a change before and after menopause: excess fat begins to accumulate. Instead of thickening thighs and buttocks, these fat meats began to pile a layer of swimming rings on their bellies. Of course, this phenomenon is more common in men.

This change is not just beautiful. Enlargement of the waist and buttocks indicates that the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and even some cancers will increase, which is the same for both men and women. This shift also helps to explain why women's cardiovascular risk begins to catch up with men after menopause.

A big belly can also cost people a lot. In 2008, a Danish study found that on the basis of a healthy waist circumference, every increase in waist circumference of 1 inch (2.54 cm) will increase the annual medical and health expenses of women by about 3%, while that of men will increase by 5%.
