Abstract
In the older adult population, BMI, physical activity at leisure time, and a former smoker status are associated with weight change in the short term. Intervention on physical activity should be a priority, because it is the main modifiable factor, is associated with health-related quality of life, and it could contribute to avoid excess weight.
