Abstract: 1) Widespread cinematic impairment was the rule in the studied population. 2) These findings are consistent with poor skeletal muscle performance, high metabolic expenditure and constant physical exhaustion. 3) Attention should be paid not only to the metabolic management but also to the physical rehabilitation required in cases of advanced obesity.

“…Obese older women showed more postural instability when compared to overweight and normal weight older women. An excessive amount of fat modifies the body geometry by adding passive mass to different regions (de Souza et al 2005), and this influences the biomechanics of activities of daily living, causing functional limitations and possibly predisposing to injury (Wearing et al 2006). Balance control is a fundamental part of activities of daily living, and our results clearly show a decreased postural stability in older obese women.…”

“…Studies investigating the relationship between BMI and mobility have focused on individuals with severe obesity, 36,37 and few studies have examined the relationship between BMI and balance. 38 Thus, little is known about the impact of BMI on balance and mobility across the broader continuum of weight ranges.…”
