Weight loss in older adults associated with risk of death, study shows
Fox News
A new study that followed healthy older Australian and U.S. adults concluded that weight loss may increase their risk of death, including life-limiting conditions.
The authors from the University of Melbourne, Monash University and others said weight loss in healthy older individuals was found to be associated with an increased risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease and "other life-limiting conditions."
"Physicians should be aware of the significance of weight loss, especially among older men," it said.
