Age is no barrier to successful weight loss, new study finds
warwick.ac.uk- Researchers studied 242 patients (under 60 and over 60 years old) who attended a weight-loss programme, most of them morbidly obese.
- Results show no differences between age groups, proving that weight loss is as important for older people - even more so - as for younger people.
- The programme was based on lifestyle-based changes - diet, physical activity and psychological support - and showed similar results regardless of age.
- People often don’t care about weight loss in older people, and this study shows that it’s a very harmful perspective to adopt.
