“…It has been suggested that, if weight loss advice is warranted, it should be accompanied by treatment for prevention of bone loss (28). Potential benefits of weight loss should be considered for each patient separately, taking their medical history into account (39)(40)(41). Future research in this area is needed and should focus on developing a knowledge base addressing the efficacy and safety of weight loss strategies in older people (26).…”

“…Capturing dietary intake (DI) in older adults is critical for the prevention of nutrition-related disorders and disease conditions and for effective treatment of individuals with health problems. 8 Measuring DI requires assessments covering both ends of the spectrum of malnutrition-namely, prevention of weight gain and obesity 9 and avoidance of undernutrition. 10 Current methods of DI capture used with adults include 24-hour recalls, food logs, and food frequency questionnaires administered using traditional and technology-based methods.…”

This paper reports on the findings and recommendations specific to older adults from the "Tech Summit: Innovative Tools for Assessing Diet and Physical Activity for Health Promotion" forum organized by the North American branch of the International Life Sciences Institute. The summit aimed to investigate current and emerging challenges related to improving energy balance behavior assessment and intervention via technology. The current manuscript focuses on how novel technologies are applied in older adult populations and enumerated the barriers and facilitators to using technology within this population. Given the multiple applications for technology in this population, including the ability to monitor health events and behaviors in real time, technology presents an innovative method to aid with the changes associated with aging. Although older adults are often perceived as lacking interest in and ability to adopt technologies, recent studies show they are comfortable adopting technology and user uptake is high with proper training and guided facilitation. Finally, the conclusions suggest recommendations for future research, including the need for larger trials with clinical outcomes and more research using end-user design that includes older adults as technology partners who are part of the design process.Theme information: This article is part of a theme issue entitled Innovative Tools for Assessing Diet and Physical Activity for Health Promotion, which is sponsored by the North American branch of the International Life Sciences Institute.

“…Nowadays, the focus is also on elderly individuals 12 , for example, not just for the development of cardiometabolic diseases (including CVD and T2DM) but also for functional 13 and potentially cognitive 14 – 16 disability related to the metabolic syndrome. Also, optimal management of the metabolic syndrome in these individuals may differ from that in the general population, among other reasons because of the higher prevalence of sarcopenic obesity in the elderly 17 . Moreover, the presence of the metabolic syndrome as a comorbid condition may adversely affect (or be affected by) the course and treatment of an underlying disease such as psoriasis, sleep apnea, mental and cognitive diseases, and chronic obstructive lung disease 14 , 18 – 22 .…”

Dysfunctional adipose tissue and low-grade inflammation in the management of the metabolic syndrome: current practices and future advances

The ongoing worldwide obesity epidemic makes the metabolic syndrome an increasingly important entity. In this review, we provide a short background on the metabolic syndrome, we discuss recent developments in the three main options that have been identified for intervention in the metabolic syndrome, i.e. lifestyle and surgical and pharmacological interventions, and we focus on different views in the literature and also include our own viewpoints on the metabolic syndrome. In addition, we discuss some emerging treatment targets for adipose tissue dysfunction and low-grade inflammation, i.e. activation of the inflammasome and the complement system, and consider some selected opportunities for intervention in these processes.
