weight loss
The reduction of body weight, whether intentional through diet and exercise or unintentional due to illness.
Ein schneller und unerklärlicher Gewichtsverlust sollte ärztlich abgeklärt werden.
Rapid and unexplained weight loss should be checked by a doctor.
The word is made up of 'das Gewicht' (weight) and 'der Verlust' (loss). The 's' in between is a linking sound that connects the two words. So the meaning is literally a 'Verlust von Gewicht' (loss of weight).
Nach seiner Diät war der Gewichtsverlust deutlich sichtbar.
After his diet, the weight loss was clearly visible.
Common adjectives describe the type of weight loss: 'starker' (significant), 'schneller' (rapid), 'erheblicher' (substantial), or 'geringer' (slight). Especially important are 'beabsichtigter' (intentional, through diet) and 'unbeabsichtigter' (unintentional) or 'unerklärlicher' (unexplained), often as a symptom of illness.
Ein unbeabsichtigter Gewichtsverlust kann ein Warnsignal sein.
Unintentional weight loss can be a warning sign.
'Gewichtsverlust' (weight loss) is often combined with verbs such as 'feststellen' (to determine/notice), 'bemerken' (to notice), or 'erzielen' (to achieve). Another common structure is that something 'zu Gewichtsverlust führt' (leads to weight loss).
Stress kann bei manchen Menschen zu Gewichtsverlust führen.
Stress can lead to weight loss in some people.
