Abstract
⺠Obesity in those > 65 years of age is prevalent and linked to negative health outcomes. ⺠Our review found that diet & exercise facilitate weight loss in frail obese older adults. ⺠Muscle quality and physical function improved with weight loss. ⺠Weight loss included bone & lean body mass, issues to be addressed in future studies. ⺠Studies need to address feasibility & health outcomes of long-term weight maintenance.
