Added Pounds Now Linked To Common Ailment In Old Age...
Dear Reader,
Yet another reason to get your weight under control. If you're an older woman, and overweight, you have almost the same power and strength in your legs as a normal weight woman your age does. But, when assessed in comparison to the weight you're actually carrying, older overweight female did much worse in terms of leg strength than normal weight women according to research out of the University of New Hampshire.
This finding challenges the assumption that thin elderly people are more likely to be disabled due to loss of muscle mass. It's what you've been told for the last 20 years.
Instead, it's carrying all the extra weight over time that makes it harder to walk... to do the activities involved with daily living.
And this is what experts fear we'll see, especially since two thirds of us are overweight (or obese) and the elderly population is aging quickly - expected to double by 2030.
This would mean that a large segment of the population would be at risk for disability.
What the team did was measure the impact of extra weight on the participants' leg strength, power and walking speed; all factors that impact daily living.
When matched up against normal weight older subjects, overweight women in the research had an average 24% decreased leg strength to weight ratio, the leg power to weight ratio was at 38%. They walked at a speed that was 20% slower as well according to investigators lead by author Dain LaRoche, an assistant professor of kinesiology at UNH.
The extra weight these women carried was truly impacting their mobility. Being at a normal body weight lets you keep doing the activities of daily living, and live on your own longer. If that isn't motivation to get your weight under control, nothing is.
Researcher LaRoche has been looking into the effects of strength and exercise in the elderly population for a while now, but this is the first time obesity in this population has made it into the mix. While he didn't start out looking at weight at all, it soon become obvious that being overweight is a major concern.

If you're overweight, you can help improve that strength to weight ration in
one of two ways. Boosting muscle strength or dropping some weight.
The surprise comes from LaRoche's belief that gaining strength is the easier
route for older adults. True that most of us aren't all that good at losing weight,
but even the most aged and frail among us can have dramatic improvements in strength.
The Growing Stronger program, a joint effort of the CDC and experts from Tufts
University is a solid starting point in terms of getting more active. The program
is based on scientific studies of strengthening exercises, so you're doing something
that will actually make a difference... build the strength of your muscles, keep
your bones strong as well as help your balance, coordination and ability to move
about.
Strength training can even help reduce some of the symptoms of chronic diseases,
even arthritis. Even if you're not so active right now, this program can help
you get started, slowly and safely.
The study was supported by the National Institute on Aging and its findings appear
in the Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
