TL;DR: This analysis is to provide a complete profile of BC in healthy elderly participants from five European countries and to investigate country- and sex-related differences by state-of-the-art DXA technology, which showed sex-specific significant differences in certain BC parameters.

Effects of Moderate Combined Resistance- and Aerobic-Exercise for 12 Weeks on Body Composition, Cardiometabolic Risk Factors, Blood Pressure, Arterial Stiffness, and Physical Functions, among Obese Older Men: A Pilot Study.
TL;DR: It is indicated that 12-week regular combined exercise improves body composition, cardiometabolic risk factors, hemodynamics, and physical performance in obese older men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anthocyanins, Microbiome and Health Benefits in Aging.
TL;DR: A review of existing literature on the role of anthocyanins and the gut microbiome on health and their potential as a natural therapeutic agent or a target organ to provide an alternative to the conventional methods of disease prevention and treatment is presented in this paper.

Treatment of Obesity in Primary Care Practice in the United States: A Systematic Review
Adam G. Tsai,Thomas A. Wadden +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence does not support the use of low- to moderate-intensity physician counseling for obesity, by itself, to achieve clinically meaningful weight loss, and further research is needed on different models of managing obesity in primary care practice.

TL;DR: A behaviourally-informed, very brief, physician-delivered opportunistic intervention is acceptable to patients and an effective way to reduce population mean weight in patients with obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-differential motivational consequences of optimization versus compensation focus in younger and older adults
TL;DR: Four studies investigated age-related differences in goal focus in younger and older adults and confirmed the hypothesis that younger adults are more persistent when the same sensorimotor task offers possibility for optimizing performance than when the task requires counteracting a loss in performance (compensation).
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence, pathophysiology, health consequences and treatment options of obesity in the elderly: a guideline.
TL;DR: Life-style intervention should be the first step and consists of a diet with a 500 kcal (2.1 MJ) energy deficit and an adequate intake of protein of high biological quality together with calcium and vitamin D, behavioural therapy and multi-component exercise.
