Study Summary

Aging is associated with significant declines in muscle mass, strength, and physical performance, all of which lead to disability, loss of independence, and adverse clinical outcomes. Obesity exacerbates these age-related declines in function and is associated with poorer clinical outcomes and quality of life. Weight loss can also worsen age-related loss of muscle mass and decrease bone mineral density. The overall goals of this study are to determine if the short-term functional benefits of intentional weight loss are sustained long-term, and to examine the long-term benefits and risks of weight loss.

Primary Outcome

Participants are instructed to complete the 400 m distance (on a flat indoor surface) as quickly as possible at a maintainable pace and the time to complete the walk is recorded in seconds.
