Objective. To examine the effect of obesity on incidence of disability and mortality among non-disabled older Mexicans at baseline. Materials and methods. The sample included 8 415 Mexicans aged ≥ 50 years from the Mexican Health and Aging Study (2001-2012), who reported no limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs) at baseline and have complete data on all covariates. Sociodemographics, smoking status, comorbidities, ADL activities, and body mass index (BMI) were collected. Results. The lowest hazard ratio (HR) for disability was at BMI of 25 to < 30 (HR = 0.97; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.85-1.12). The lowest HR for mortality were seen among participants with BMIs 25 to < 30 (HR = 0.85; 95%CI, 075-0.97), 30 to < 35 (HR = 0.86; 95 %CI, 0.72-1.02), and ≥ 35 (HR = 0.92; 95 %CI, 0.70-1.22). Conclusion. Mexican older adults with a BMI of 25 to < 30 were at less risk for both disability and mortality.

The Impact

The aim of this study was to examine the association between body mass index and weight changes on disability transitions and mortality among Brazilian older adults. Longitudinal data from the Health, Well-Being, and Aging in Latin America and the Caribbean Study conducted in São Paulo, Brazil (2000 and 2006), were used to examine the impact of obesity on disability and mortality and of weight changes on health transitions related to disability. Logistic and multinomial regression models were used in the analyses. Individuals who were obese were more likely than those of normal weight to have limitations on activities of daily living (ADL), instrumental activity of daily living (IADL), and Nagi's limitations. Obesity was associated with higher incidence of ADL and IADL limitations and with lower recovery from Nagi's limitations. Compared to those who maintained their weight, those who gained weight experienced higher incidence of ADL and Nagi's limitations, even after controlling for initial body mass index. Higher mortality among overweight individuals was only found when the reference category was “remaining free of Nagi limitations.” The findings of the study underline the importance of maintaining normal weight for preventing disability at older ages.

Positive Correlation

Background: Higher BMI has been often attributed with decline in cognitive function, mortality, and morbidity in elderly. However, few studies have reported high BMI as protective towards cognition and Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Accurate quantification of the role of BMI in the incidence of cognition and performance is desirable in the face of the increasing prevalence of individuals with overweight and obesity and prolonged life span in the population. This study aimed to investigate the association of BMI with cognition and ADL in community living elderly. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted among community living elderly. BMI and KATZ index scores were recorded from the respondents. Data were analyzed using SPSS version and a p value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 53 respondents enrolled in this study and was predominated by (54.7%) males and (45.30%) females. Karl Pearson correlation coefficient test found a positive correlation (r= 0.33) between BMI and Cognition and was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Also, it was observed that moderately positive correlation exists between BMI and ADL (r =0.64) and was found to be statistically very highly significant (p<0.001) Conclusion: This study concluded that among elderly, higher BMI values were associated with better performance in daily activities and lower cognitive impairment. KEY WORDS: Elderly, Body mass index, Activities of Daily Living, Cognition.

Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias

In patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, undernutrition has a profound effect on prognosis. However, whether body mass index affects the ability to perform activities of daily living as measured by the Barthel index in patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonias remains unknown. Therefore, we examined the impact of body mass index on the activities of daily living in inpatients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. We used a database constructed by the Japan Medical Data Center. Data were extracted from 2774 inpatients from participating hospitals with a diagnosis of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. Multiple regression analysis adjusted for confounding factors was performed to determine whether body mass index classification would be independently related to change in Barthel index during hospitalization. Underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity numbered 473 (19%), 1037 (41), 795 (31%), and 235 (9%), respectively. Multivariable analysis showed that being underweight was independently associated with a change in Barthel index during hospitalization of −2.95 (95% confidence interval −4.82 to −1.07) points lower than being normal weight. Approximately 20% of the patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonias were underweight. Those who were underweight had decreased independence in activities of daily living during hospitalization.
