“…Furthermore, common genetic risks for both conditions have also been suggested as an explanation of the observed associations (Afari et al, 2010). Finally, psychological factors such as poor self-esteem and body image may be related to obesity and also affect mental health (Gariepy et al, 2010;Molyneaux et al, 2014;Peter et al, 2014).…”

“…Weight changes are frequently observed in elderly people. In a study, weight increased until 70 years of age and declined in both sexes afterwards [23]. These changes are explained by different factors such as physiological, psychological and social factors [24].…”

Background: Elderly Friendly Primary Health Care Centers is a World Health Health Organisation (WHO) sponsored initiative to support low resourced primary health care (PHC) organisations for the provision of high quality care to suffering people with disability, frailty and chronic conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate health needs of patients > 60, who were attending primary health care centers in Antalya, Turkey. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 438 participants attending PHC centers and 1 outpatient clinic of a private hospital. Patients > 60, without an acute and psychiatric condition or terminal condition, speaking Turkish, and voluteers were included in this study. The "10 Minute Comprehensive Screening" Tool of "WHO-Age Friendly PHC Toolkit" was used. Ten subgroups of the 10 Minute Comprehensive Screening were identified for the scoring process. The data of this study was analysed with descriptive, Chi-Square, T Test and Anova statistics. The level of significance was set to p< 0.05. Results: Participants were 69.4+/-6.06 (61-94) years old. Different subdomains of the "10 minute comprehensive screening" tool revealed that health problems (cognition, urinary incontinence, affective symptoms, mobility, fall risk, malnutrition, hearing impairement, and visual impairment) in participants were frequent and cognitive scores, IADL mobility, total mobility and hearing impairment worsened with increasing age (p<0.05). Female participants suffered more urinary incontinence, depressive symptoms, fall proneess, and visual impairment; and male participants more hearing impairment (p<0.05). Discussion: The "WHO-Age Friendly PHC Toolkit" is an important tool to detect unmet health needs of elderly people in the community. The determination of these geriatric problems will help elderly patients and their caregivers/relatives to seek further support from the health system. Family physicians in primary health care and if needed secondary care physicians, will certainly welcome these pre-evaluated patients with a certain management focus.

“…This phenomenon, observed on the basis of data from cross‐sectional materials, in addition to involutional changes, however, also results from the trend of intergenerational change—secular trends. In works estimating the size of the involutional changes in body height, against a background of secular changes in men from the Polish population in various occupational spheres, average involutional loss of body height by about 0.5 cm per decade, changed depending on the age of the respondents, for example, in the 4th decade of life—0.28 cm, 5th—0.45 cm, 6th—0.68 cm (Nooyens et al, ; Panek, ; Peter et al, ). Results of continuous research from adulthood to old age showed a decrease mainly in the length of trunk and neck, which influences the body length proportions (Zając‐Gawlak and Groffik, ).…”

The selected morphological variables represent a set of characteristics useful for the determination of the biological age. The existing relationship between physical activity and biological age indicates that physical activity may contribute to the inhibition of involutional changes, even if it had only been performed regularly in the past.

Change in Height, Weight, and body mass index: Longitudinal data from Austria

Abstract: Weight is strongly related to aging. In older individuals height loss affects BMI and masks weight loss to some degree.
