Project description:BACKGROUND:Observational research has identified several mortality biomarkers; however, their responsiveness to change is unknown. We tested whether the Healthy Aging Index (HAI) and other mortality biomarkers were responsive to intentional weight loss (WL), which is associated with lower mortality risk in recent meta-analyses. METHODS:Older adults (70.3 ± 3.7 years) with obesity were randomized into a 6-month WL (n = 47) or weight stability (WS: ±5% baseline weight; n = 48) program. Baseline and 6-month HAI score (0-10) was calculated from component sum (each 0-2: systolic blood pressure, forced vital capacity [FVC], creatinine, fasting blood glucose [FBG], Montreal Cognitive Assessment), and gait speed, grip strength, Digit Symbol Substitution Test, FEV1, Interleukin-6, C-Reactive Protein, and Cystatin-C were assessed at baseline and 6 months. RESULTS:Mean baseline HAI was 3.2 ± 1.6. By 6 months, WL participants lost 8.87 (95% CI: -10.40, -7.34) kg, whereas WS participants remained weight stable. WL group reduced HAI score (WL: -0.75 [95% CI: -1.11, -0.39] vs WS: -0.22 [95% CI: -0.60, 0.15]; p = .04), and components changing the most were FBG (WL: -3.89 [95% CI: -7.78, 0.00] mg/dL vs WS: 1.45 [95% CI: -2.61, 5.50] mg/dL; p = .047) and FVC (WL: 0.11 [95% CI: -0.01, 0.23] L vs WS: -0.05 [95% CI: -0.17, 0.08] L; p = .06). Among other biomarkers, only Cystatin-C significantly changed (WL: -2.53 [95% CI: -4.38, -0.68] ng/mL vs WS: 0.07 [95% CI: -1.85, 1.98] ng/mL; p = .04). Combining treatment groups, 1 kg WL was associated with a 0.07 (95% CI: 0.03, 0.12) HAI reduction (p < .01). CONCLUSION:Intentional WL via caloric restriction reduced HAI score by 0.53 points, largely attributable to metabolic and pulmonary improvements.

Project description:ObjectiveTo examine the long-term effects of exercise modality during weight loss on body composition and associations between body composition and physical function changes.MethodsTwo hundred forty-nine older adults (66.9 ± 4.7 years, 71% women, 32% African American, BMI: 34.4 ± 3.7 kg/m2 ) were randomized to weight loss (WL; n = 82), WL plus aerobic training (WL + AT; n = 86), or WL plus resistance training (WL + RT; n = 81) for 18 months. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry-acquired body composition, 400-m walk time, and knee extensor strength were measured at baseline and at 6 and 18 months.ResultsTotal body mass loss was enhanced when WL was combined with exercise (WL: -5.7 ± 0.7 kg, WL + AT: -8.5 ± 0.7 kg, WL + RT: -8.7 ± 0.7 kg; P < 0.01). Total body fat mass loss was significantly greater in WL + AT (-6.8 ± 0.6 kg, -16.4%) and WL + RT (-7.8 ± 0.5 kg, -19.0%) than WL (-4.8 ± 0.6 kg, -10.9%); both P < 0.01. Lean mass loss was greatest in WL + AT (-1.6 ± 0.3 kg, -3.1%) compared with WL + RT (-0.8 ± 0.3 kg, -1.5%) or WL (-1.0 ± 0.3 kg; -2.0%); both P ≤ 0.02. Change in 400-m walk time was associated with change in fat mass (β/SD = +6.1 s; P < 0.01), while change in knee extensor strength was associated with change in lean mass (β/SD = +1.6 Nm; P < 0.01).ConclusionsWL + RT results in less lean mass lost than WL + AT; WL plus exercise yields greater fat mass loss than WL alone.

Project description:BackgroundDespite the reported benefits, weight loss is not always advised for older adults because some observational studies have associated weight loss with increased mortality. However, the distinction between intentional and unintentional weight loss is difficult to make in an observational context, so the effect of intentional weight loss on mortality may be clarified in the setting of a randomized controlled trial.ObjectiveThe objective was to determine the effect of intentional weight loss on all-cause mortality by using follow-up data from a randomized trial completed in 1995 that included a weight-loss arm.DesignThe Trial of Nonpharmacologic Intervention in the Elderly (TONE) used a 2 × 2 factorial design to determine the effect of dietary weight loss, sodium restriction, or both on blood pressure control in 585 overweight or obese older adults being treated for hypertension (mean ± SD age: 66 ± 4 y; 53% female). All-cause mortality was ascertained by using the Social Security Index and National Death Index through 2006.ResultsThe mortality rate of those who were randomly assigned to the weight-loss intervention (n = 291; mean weight loss: 4.4 kg) did not differ significantly from that of those who were not randomly assigned to this group (n = 294; mean weight loss: 0.8 kg). The adjusted HR was 0.82 (95% CI: 0.55, 1.22).ConclusionsIntentional dietary weight loss was not significantly associated with increased all-cause mortality over 12 y of follow-up in older overweight or obese adults. Additional studies are needed to confirm and extend our findings to older age groups. This trial is registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00000535.

Project description:Abstract Randomized controlled trial results in obese older adults consistently associate intentional weight loss of 5–10% with clinically meaningful improvement in gait speed, on average. Consideration of individual differences in response, however, has been largely ignored. The purpose of this study is to describe the inter-individual variability in gait speed response to intentional weight loss in overweight and obese older adults. Participants from the Intensive Diet and Exercise for Arthritis trial (NCT00381290), randomized to a caloric restriction intervention targeting 10% weight loss over 18 months were included, with fast-paced 6-minute walk assessed at baseline and 6 months. Of 112 participants (BMI: 33.6?±?3.7?kg/m2; age: 66.7?±?5.9 years), 79 experienced at least 5% weight loss at 6 months and increased gait speed by 0.05?±?0.10 m/s (p<0.001). Individual changes, however, varied from -0.27 to 0.29 m/s, with 24% (n=19) experiencing no improvement (i.e. change?0.0 m/s). At ?10% achieved weight loss at 6 months, mean gait speed increased by 0.06?±?0.10 m/s (range: -0.16 to 0.29 m/s) and the subset of non-responders increased to 29% (n=14/48). When considering gender, age, race, baseline BMI and baseline gait speed, change in gait speed was negatively associated with both baseline gait speed and African-American race (both p<0.05). Data suggest large variation in the magnitude of gait speed change for a given amount of weight loss and highlight a subset of participants likely to experience no improvement. Better understanding of the characteristics influencing weight loss-associated functional change is necessary to optimize individualized weight management strategies for this population.

Project description:BackgroundEpidemiologic studies regarding weight loss and subsequent cancer risk are sparse. The study aim was to evaluate the association between weight change by intentionality and obesity-related cancer incidence in the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study. Eleven cancers were considered obesity related: breast, ovary, endometrium, colon and rectum, esophagus, kidney, liver, multiple myeloma, pancreas, stomach, and thyroid.MethodsPostmenopausal women (n = 58 667) aged 50-79 years had body weight and waist circumference (WC) measured at baseline and year 3. Weight or WC change was categorized as stable (change < ±5%), loss (≥5%), and gain (≥5%). Self-report at year 3 characterized weight loss as intentional or unintentional. During the subsequent 12 years (mean) of follow-up, 6033 incident obesity-related cancers were identified. Relationships were evaluated using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models.ResultsCompared to women with stable weight, women with intentional weight loss had lower obesity-related cancer risk (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.88, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.80 to 0.98). A similar result was observed for intentional WC reduction (HR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.80 to 0.96). Among all cancers, intentional weight loss was most strongly associated with endometrial cancer (HR = 0.61, 95% CI = 0.42 to 0.88). Intentional WC loss was also associated with lower colorectal cancer risk (HR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.63 to 0.99). Unintentional weight loss or weight gain was not associated with overall obesity-related cancer risk.ConclusionIntentional weight or WC loss in postmenopausal women was associated with lower risk of obesity-related cancer. These findings suggest that postmenopausal women who intentionally lose weight can reduce their obesity-related cancer risk.

Project description:BackgroundLittle is known about the effect of exercise modality during a dietary weight loss program on muscle size and quality, as measured by computed tomography (CT). Even less is known about how CT-derived changes in muscle track with changes in volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and bone strength.MethodsOlder adults (66 ± 5 years, 64 % women) were randomized to 18-months of diet-induced weight loss (WL), WL with aerobic training (WL + AT), or WL with resistance training (WL + RT). CT-derived muscle area, radio-attenuation and intermuscular fat percentage at the trunk and mid-thigh were determined at baseline (n = 55) and 18-month follow-up (n = 22-34), and changes were adjusted for sex, baseline value, and weight lost. Lumbar spine and hip vBMD and finite element-derived bone strength were also measured.ResultsAfter adjustment for the weight lost, muscle area losses at the trunk were -7.82 cm2 [-12.30, -3.35] for WL, -7.72 cm2 [-11.36, -4.07] for WL + AT, and -5.14 cm2 [-8.65, -1.63] for WL + RT (p < 0.001 for group differences). At the mid-thigh, decreases were -6.20 cm2 [-10.39, -2.02] for WL, -7.84 cm2 [-11.19, -4.48] for WL + AT, and -0.60 cm2 [-4.14, 2.94] for WL + RT; this difference between WL + AT and WL + RT was significant in post-hoc testing (p = 0.01). Change in trunk muscle radio-attenuation was positively associated with change in lumbar bone strength (r = 0.41, p = 0.04).ConclusionsWL + RT better preserved muscle area and improved muscle quality more consistently than WL + AT or WL alone. More research is needed to characterize the associations between muscle and bone quality in older adults undertaking weight loss interventions.

Project description:To examine the effects of daily weighted vest use during a dietary weight loss intervention, on (a) hip and spine bone mineral density (aBMD), and (b) biomarkers of bone turnover, in older adults with obesity. 37 older (70.1 ± 3.0 years) adults with obesity (BMI=35.3 ± 2.9) underwent a 22 week dietary weight loss intervention (1100-1300 kcal/day) with (Diet+Vest; n=20) or without (Diet; n=17) weighted vest use (goal: 10+ h/day; weight added incrementally based on amount of weight lost). Total body weight; DXA-acquired aBMD of the total hip, femoral neck and lumbar spine; and biomarkers of bone turnover (OC, BALP, P1NP, CTX) were measured at baseline and follow up. General linear models, adjusted for baseline values of the outcome and gender, were used to examine intervention effects. Average weight loss was significant in both groups (-11.2 ± 4.4 kg and -11.0 ± 6.3 kg, Diet+Vest and Diet groups, respectively), with no difference between groups (p=0.91). Average weighted vest use was 6.7 ± 2.2 h/day. No significant changes in aBMD or biomarkers were observed, although trends were noted for total hip aBMD and BALP. Loss in total hip aBMD was greater in the Diet group compared with Diet+Vest (Δ: -18.7 [29.3, -8.1] mg/cm2 versus -6.1 [-15.7, 3.5] mg/cm2; p=0.08). BALP increased in the Diet+Vest group by 3.8% (Δ: 0.59 [-0.33, 1.50] μg/L) and decreased by -4.6% in the Diet group (Δ: -0.70 [-1.70, 0.31] μg/L, p=0.07). Weighted vest use during weight loss may attenuate loss of hip aBMD and increase bone formation in older adults with obesity. Further study is warranted.

Project description:ObjectiveThe goal of this study was to determine whether the degree of weight loss after 6 months of a behavior-based intervention is related to baseline connectivity within two functional networks (FNs) of interest, FN1 and FN2, in a group of older adults with obesity.MethodsBaseline functional magnetic resonance imaging data were collected following an overnight fast in 71 older adults with obesity involved in a weight-loss intervention. Functional brain networks in a resting state and during a food-cue task were analyzed using a mixed-regression framework to examine the relationships between baseline networks and 6-month change in weight.ResultsDuring the resting condition, the relationship of baseline brain functional connectivity and network clustering in FN1, which includes the visual cortex and sensorimotor areas, was significantly associated with 6-month weight loss. During the food-cue condition, 6-month weight loss was significantly associated with the relationship between baseline brain connectivity and network global efficiency in FN2, which includes executive control, attention, and limbic regions.ConclusionThese findings provide further insight into complex functional circuits in the brain related to successful weight loss and may ultimately aid in developing tailored behavior-based treatment regimens that target specific brain circuitry.

Project description:BackgroundTo examine the effect of exercise modality during weight loss on hip and spine bone mineral density (BMD) in overweight and obese, older adults.MethodsThis analysis compared data from two 5-month, randomized controlled trials of caloric restriction (CR; inducing 5-10% weight loss) with either resistance training (RT) or aerobic training (AT) in overweight and obese, older adults. Participants in the RT + CR study underwent 3 days/week of 8 upper/lower body exercises (3 sets, 10 repetitions at 70% 1 RM) and participants in the AT+CR study underwent 4 days/week of treadmill walking (30 min at 65-70% heart rate reserve). BMD at the total hip, femoral neck, and lumbar spine was assessed via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at baseline and 5 months.ResultsA total of 123 adults (69.4 ± 3.5 years, 67% female, 81% Caucasian) participated in the RT+CR (n = 60) and AT+CR (n = 63) interventions. Average weight loss was 5.7% (95% CI: 4.6-6.7%) and 8.2% (95% CI: 7.2-9.3%) in RT+CR and AT+CR groups, respectively. After adjustment for age, gender, race, baseline BMI and BMD, and weight change, differential treatment effects were observed for total hip and femoral neck (both p < .05), but not lumbar spine. Total hip (1.83 [-3.90, 7.55] mg/cm2) and femoral neck (9.14 [-0.70, 18.98] mg/cm2) BMD was unchanged in RT+CR participants, and modestly decreased in AT+CR participants (total hip: -7.01 [-12.73, -1.29] mg/cm2; femoral neck: -5.36 [-14.92, 4.20] mg/cm2).ConclusionsResults suggest performing resistance, rather than aerobic, training during CR may attenuate loss of hip and femoral neck BMD in overweight and obese older adults. Findings warrant replication from a long-term, adequately powered, RCT.

Project description:ObjectiveTo assess the extent to which initial, intentional weight loss-associated improvements in glucose tolerance and insulin action are diminished with weight regain.Methods138 overweight and obese (BMI: 32.4±3.9kg/m(2)), adults (59.0±9.7 years), with pre-diabetes were followed through a 6-month weight loss intervention and subsequent 18-month weight maintenance period, or usual care control condition. Longitudinal change in weight (baseline, 6, 24 months) was used to classify individuals into weight pattern categories (Loser/Maintainer (LM), n= 50; Loser/Regainer (LR), n=51; and Weight Stable (WS), n=37). Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), insulin, and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were measured at baseline, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months and model adjusted changes, by weight pattern category, were assessed.ResultsLMs and LRs lost 8.3±4.7kg (8.7±4.5%) and 9.6±4.7kg (10.2±4.7%) during the first 6 months, respectively. LM continued to lose 1.1±3.4kg over the next 18 months (9.9±6.5% reduction from baseline; p<0.05), while LRs regained 6.5±3.7kg (3.3±5.3% reduction from baseline; p<0.05). Weight change was directly associated with change in all DM risk factors (all p<0.01). Notably, despite an absolute reduction in body weight (from baseline to 24 months) achieved in the LR group, 24-month changes in FPG, insulin, and HOMA-IR did not differ between WS and LR groups. Conversely, LM saw sustained improvements in all measured DM risk factors.ConclusionsSignificant weight loss followed by weight loss maintenance is associated with sustained improvements in FPG, insulin, and HOMA-IR; conversely, even partial weight regain is associated with regression of initial improvements in these risk factors towards baseline values.
