Obesity and Aging:

Description: Several factors link obesity with the process of aging: excess body weight increases the rate of the latter and raises the risk of developing such age-related diseases as osteoarthritis, cognitive decline, and cardiovascular problems. Metabolic changes, hormonal shifts, and reduced physical activity are connected with aging and precondition fat accumulation, especially around the waist. This visceral fat disrupts metabolic functions and creates inflammation and insulin resistance—which is common among older adults. Obesity in the aging population has to be addressed to enhance longevity and quality of life. The focus of IOMC is the complex relationship between obesity and aging. Therefore, it becomes a platform to discuss strategies that may reduce the impact of obesity on health issues related to aging and improve outcomes for older adults.
