Longitudinal changes in body composition in older men and women: role of body weight change and physical activity

Abstract: On average, FM increased; however, the increase in women was attenuated with advancing age. The decrease in FFM over the follow-up period was small and masked the wide interindividual variation that was dependent on the magnitude of weight change. The contribution of weight stability, modest weight gains, or lifestyle changes that include regular resistance exercise in attenuating lean-tissue loss with age should be explored.

“…(13) Height loss also appears to be related to sarcopenia, (32) which is defined as the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength with aging and is associated with weight loss (40)(41)(42)(43) and increased mortality. (33)(34)(35) We found increased mortality associated with marked HL due to CHD or stroke and respiratory diseases, but no increased cancer mortality. Kado et al reported that hyperkyphotic posture was specifically associated with increased rate of death due to atherosclerosis.…”

“…(32) The increased risk of CHD and all-cause mortality associated with height loss may thus reflect poor muscular strength and skeletal muscle mass loss from aging (sarcopenia), both of which have been shown to be predictors of mortality. (33)(34)(35) Wannamethee et al also discussed the idea that height loss might serve as a marker for sarcopenia and frailty. (24) Hyperkyphosis, commonly used as a marker of aging, is frequently observed in the elderly.…”

“…These age-related changes are observed in healthy, active adults who are 50 years and older (Hughes et al, 2002). The prevalence of sarcopenia in older adults under the age of 70 years is about 25% and increases to 40% in adults 80 years or older (Baumgartner et al, 1998).…”

“…[17][18][19] Even without body weight changes, the amount of fat significantly increases with age. 20 It has been shown that in men and women, in normal weight and in obese subjects, body weight tends to increase, peaking at about age 65 y in men and later in women, and then decreasing with further aging.…”
