This study reveals that both men and women of older age between 60 to 80 years are having many co-morbidities while passing high body fat percentage and poor lean muscle mass. Though old aged people have naturally less bone and muscle mass and chances for the health issues cannot be specified all time by improper fat distribution into body but accumulation of body fat or lipid or adipose tissue can lead a crucial role for being co-morbid at old age both for male and female. Accumulated excess fat leads to the issue of obesity. Obesity is corelated with cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome [2,3] . Geriatric or old age group is very relevant to these co-morbidity and also the association with bone loss or bone related problems are also found specially among obese old people [4] .
