Weight Regained By Older Dieters May Be More Dangerous...
Dear Reader,
Even more reason for older women (and likely men too) not only to lose weight; but keep the pounds off. A fascinating study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition of postmenopausal women finds that if they regain weight (typical for an estimated 80% of dieters) they don't get back as much lean tissue mass as they lost, so they end up with more fat, even if they go back to their original weight.
You do lose lean tissue and fat when you drop weight according to the authors of the study. Research has shown that lean tissue represents about a quarter of a total weight loss. The loss of muscle and bone can be especially troublesome for older people, and something doctors need to consider when advising their older patients.
For the research, the team analyzed the body composition of 78 postmenopausal women (aged 50-70 years old) who were not active either before or just after they ended a five month long diet. The team weighed the subjects at six and twelve months after the weight loss trial, and analyzed the body composition of anyone who regained at least 4.4 pounds.
On average the subjects lost about 12% of their body weight on the diet, but by the 6 month follow up, almost two thirds of them had regained some weight. By the year follow up, about three quarters of the subjects had regained, including 11 who had gained even more than they lost. At this point, 84% of the regainers had gained over the 4.4-pound benchmark.
The subjects had lost two times as much muscle as fat when they were on a low calorie diet, but after this they regained their bodies had more than four times as much fat as they did muscle. Earlier studies of weight gain/regain done in younger subjects showed that they tended to regain fat and lean tissue in the same proportion as they'd lost it.
Of course because the study didn't have a control group of the same aged women who had not lost and then regained weight, no one can be sure the shift in the lean tissue to fat composition wasn't natural for their age. Researcher Barbara Nicklas, PhD, a professor of geriatrics and gerontology at the Wake Forest School of Medicine who led this study is planning to examine this question in future research.

Weight Regained By Older Dieters May Be More Dangerous... Continued...
On this same topic, a paper published in 2009 discussed body composition changes
in men and women aged 70 to 79, comparing those who had lost at least 3% of their
weight and then regained to those whose weight stayed the same. They found that
so-called weight cycling may well contribute to a net loss of lean muscle mass
in older men. Here too, more research was needed.
Experts are still trying to understand the natural changes of body composition
over time. This is especially important today because so many of us are heavy
and heavy people are living longer than ever. There are no good guidelines for
doctors to follow in terms of treating obese older people. There are experts
who believe it's best to leave them as they are - some are totally against an
older person losing weight.
While you'll need to make your own decision in terms of weight as you age, not
only is there a very real risk of gaining it back, weight loss in your older
years may well have an unfavorable impact on the lean tissue to fat composition
of your body. In favor of weight loss in older people is the knowledge that when
older obese patients slim down, they improve their osteoarthritis - they can
get up and climb stairs more easily and this quality of life improvement is invaluable.
Only you can make the best choice for yourself and your circumstances.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
