Abstract: Introduction: Lower grip strength and measures of physical functioning are associated with all-cause mortality. Relationships among long-term weight loss, physical functioning, and mortality in older women are understudied.Methods: Participants were 5039 women who were part of the Long Life Study (LLS) ancillary study to the Woman's Health Initiative (WHI).

“…In our study, there was significant association between one category of weight gain (> 5%) and the decreased risk of HTN. However, Underland et al (2022) in their study among 5,039 women with average age of 78.76 ± 6.92 found that weight gain was not associated with mortality or cardiovascular outcomes, however weight loss of 5% or more was associated with increased risk of mortality [ 43 ]. Women who experienced the surgical menopause might be at increased risk of coronary heart disease than women with natural menopause [ 7 ].…”

“…Previous studies have suggested that the mechanisms underlying the deleterious effects of weight change over certain lifespans may differ [ 9 , 21 ]. For example, in early adulthood, weight gain primarily results from the accumulation of fat mass [ 22 - 24 ], while in late adulthood, it is usually attributed to a decrease in lean body mass and an increase in fat mass [ 25 , 26 ].…”
