چکیده

Context: over the last decades, the prevalence of overweight (bmi > 25) and obesity (bmi > 30) is being the most important health challenge in urban populations. the relationship between obesity and the individual’s temperament has not been studied yet.evidence acquisition: this review aimed to study the causes of obesity, especially in middle-aged people, according to the new evidence of conventional medicine and findings of traditional persian medicine (tpm) physicians cited in their books. databases including pubmed, scopus, and iran medex were also searched with keywords obesity and overweight for recent evidence in conventional medicine.results: based on the traditional persian medicine findings, dystemprament or disequilibrium in mizaj may promote obesity in middle-aged and elderly people. the attenuation of innate heat and intrinsic moisture in middle age could increase the chance of overweight and obesity. recent studies in modern nutrition reveal a linear relationship between diminishing the basal metabolic rate and increasing age, especially in middle age. accordingly, cold-wet-tempered people have more efficient energy homeostasis than hot-dry-tempered people that is similar to individuals with firmicutes gut microbiota predominance. people living in high altitudes and cold-dry climates maintain their innate heat better than people living in wet climates. it is in accordance with the increasing brown adipose tissue thermogenesis in cold exposure, which decreases the chance of obesity.conclusions: based on traditional persian medicine school, it is hypothesized that increasing age and diminishing innate heat besides the accumulation of phlegm (moisture) in the gastrointestinal tract of middle-aged individuals may be influential in altering gut microbiota and consequently obesity. it seems that there may be a correlation between cold/wet mizaj and risk factors of obesity.
