• Older persons present special challenges when making changes in diet and activity levels. In patients over 65, the increase in chronic diseases associated with aging reduces physical activity and exercise capacity, making it more difficult for elderly persons to lose weight.
• Widowhood, loneliness, isolation, and depression are other factors that need to be addressed during weight-loss programs.
• Participation in these programs by family members, as well as the caregiver(s), is especially important if the older person’s vision and hearing are impaired or if there is cognitive impairment.
• Appropriate nutritional counseling through referral to a registered dietitian is necessary to ensure that the older adult’s daily nutritional requirements are met during weight-loss programs.
• The benefits and risks of weight reduction in older adults should be carefully considered.
• Loss of lean body mass, which is already diminished in older adults, may not be appropriate in persons over 65 years of age because the loss of fat-free mass in older adults is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
• A weight loss program that minimizes muscle and bone loss is necessary for the older adults who are obese and have functional impairments or metabolic complications that might be improved by weight loss.
