Weight management strategies and prospects for older adults with overweight and obesity
With the intensification of the global population aging trend,the problem of obesity in the elderly has become increasingly prominent,which is closely related to the increase of the risk of various diseases and mortality.However,there are still many challenges in dealing with this problem.First,body mass index,waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio,which are widely used for weight assessment,have certain limitations.Secondly,the screening and management of weight-related complications should be strengthened,and management concepts should be established to improve physical function and enhance health outcomes.At the same time,attention should be paid to the management of body composition,especially the monitoring and management of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity,which are common in the elderly.In the management of obesity in the elderly,it is necessary to consider the overall health status of patients,living habits and other factors,and formulate lifestyle intervention measures in line with their physiological characteristics.If lifestyle interventions do not work well,the drug regimen should consider the combined effects of cardiovascular,renal,and metabolic syndrome.With the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence technology,weight management in the elderly is expected to improve health outcomes by building risk prediction models through machine learning and enabling precise personalized treatment.This will provide a new strategy and method for solving the problem of obesity in the elderly.
