Abstract

Aging is associated with changes in body composition, including a gradual decrease in lean mass and an increase in fat mass. These changes can lead to a decrease in metabolic rate and make it more challenging for seniors to lose weight. In addition, age-related factors, such as changes in hormone levels, appetite regulation, and physical activity levels, can also impact weight loss outcomes. Understanding the factors that contribute to weight loss resistance in seniors is crucial for developing effective weight loss interventions that address their unique needs and challenges.
