Weight and Health in Older Adults

Some challenging news from top experts in elder care-see what they are saying about weight and health in older adults.

Diabetes appears to be loosening its awful grip on the elderly, and one leading geriatrician is hoping that caretakers will reassess their tactics in the battle of the bulge.

A report earlier this year found that the worst complications of elderly diabetes fell off dramatically between 1990 and 2010. Many factors might account for it, St. Louis University School of Medicine Professor John Morley says in a new editorial, but there is “one factor that can clearly be excluded”—obesity.

“In addition, there is evidence in nondiabetic individuals that obesity may be slightly protective,” Morley writes. “There is also evidence that weight loss may accelerate mortality in older persons with diabetes mellitus. This has been termed the obesity paradox.”
