Relation Between Obesity and Physical Disability

Weight LossThe research carried out at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and colleagues pointed out that the inception of physical disability in the aged persons can be disallowed by maintaing a healthy body weight.


The older adults having excess weight during their midlife were found to have not as good as physical performance in late adulthood as compared to those who had normal
weight in their adulthood.

Denise K. Houston, Ph.D., R.D., lead author and an instructor in internal medicine-gerontology said,"The data suggest that interventions to prevent overweight and obesity in young and middle-age adults may be useful in preventing or delaying the onset of physical disability later in life."

The relation between obesity and physical disability is well known. The research was done over 2,803 participants. It is found that Obesity may lead to joint wear and tear, reduced exercise capacity, and a higher rate of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and arthritis that can result in physical disability.
