“…This represents an expected result, as aerobic capacity declines with ageing [39]. At the end of the program, we observed a minor improvement of peak CPET parameters in the elderly, accompanied by a significantly greater improvement on 6MWT compared to their younger counterparts.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the short-term effectiveness of an intensive inpatient multidimensional rehabilitation program (MRP), including diet, exercise, and behavioral therapy, in elderly patients with severe obesity. Methods: Forty-four elderly patients (old; age 69.3 ± 3.5 years, BMI 41.9 ± 14.9) were analyzed against 215 younger patients (young; age 48.2 ± 18.5 years, BMI 43.9 ± 9.4), who were used as controls. All patients underwent MRP, based on group therapy guided by a multidisciplinary team (physicians, dietitians, exercise trainers, psychologists). We evaluated changes in anthropometry, cardiovascular risk factors, physical fitness, quality of life, and eating behavior. Results: After 3 weeks of MRP, we observed a reduction in body weight (old –3.8%, young –4.3%), BMI (old –3.9%, young –4.4%), waist circumference (old –3.4%, young –4.1%), total cholesterol (old –14.0%, young –15.0%), and fasting glucose (old –8.3%, young –8.1%), as well as improved performance in the Six-Minute-Walk Test (old +28.7%, young +15.3%), chair-stand test (old +24.8%, young +26.9%), and arm-curl test (old +15.2%, young +27.3%). Significant improvement was registered in all other analyzed domains. Conclusion: Our 3-week MRP provided significant clinical and functional improvement, which was similar between elderly and younger patients with severe obesity. In the long-term, this may be translated into better quality of life, through better management of obesity-associated morbidities and reduced frailty.

“…As shown from previous studies [36,37,38,39,40] resistance training increases muscle strength from external measurements, such as; bench press test, or isometric leg strength. The next study examined these variables as well as DXA scans to determine lean body mass.…”

“…30,31 Physical frailty is common in obese older adults, 8,9 and obesity is associated with increased admissions to nursing homes. [10][11][12] Four previous randomized, controlled trials examined the effect of weight loss on physical function in obese older adults, 14 but these studies were either short-term 19,32,33 or limited to participants with specific health conditions. 34 The current study suggests that weight loss alone or exercise alone can reverse frailty but that the combination of weight loss and exercise is more effective than either individual intervention.…”
