TL;DR: The prevalence of obesity is rapidly increasing in older patients and it is ubiquitous in many developed countries, making it a major public health target for intervention.

TL;DR: Cobalamin (vitamin B12) deficiency is particularly common in the elderly but is often unrecognized because its clinical manifestations are subtle; however, they are also potentially serious, particularly from a neuropsychiatric and hematological perspective.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that cyanocobalamin given orally during one week may be an effective treatment for cobalamin deficiency related to food-cobalamin malabsorption and nutritional deficiency and may avoid painful intra-muscular injections in older patients.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis confirms the AT-associated benefits on VO2peak in healthy and unhealthy seniors and confirms that regular physical activity and particularly aerobic training contribute to better and healthy aging.

TL;DR: Among critically ill elderly patients (≥ 90 years), chronological age was not an independent factor of ICU mortality, and ICU care-related costs in this population should not be considered as a limiting factor for ICU admission.
