Suitable interventions based on proper diet and exercise can successfully promote weight loss in older adults. Nevertheless, improper application of these interventions can adversely affect their muscles, nutrition levels, and bone health. In addition, low levels of essential vitamins and minerals can cause malnutrition, which might increase the risk of mortality and morbidity.
About the Study A total of 51 people above the age of 60 years and belonging to the Mediterranean city of Alicante were included in this study. All participants' body mass index was greater than 25 kg/m2. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups, i.e., the experimental and control groups, and they were matched at baseline for clinical variables.
Study Findings A significant weight loss that included a decrease in fat mass, BMI, and reduction in waist circumference occurred in the experimental group after two years of dietary nutritional intervention. However, no difference was observed between the two groups concerning the hip circumference or waist-hip index.
