Moderately To Severely Obese Elderly Run Significant Risk Of Disability And Dependence On Long-Term Care Services, Finds Study Presented At AGS

Duh.

No news here.

"Among the growing number of obese older adults, those who are moderately and severely obese, but not those who are mildly obese, run a significantly increased risk of having disabilities serious enough to need long-term care, according to a study that will be presented here, at the American Geriatrics Society's Annual Scientific Meeting, on May 1. The meeting is the premier conference on aging research."

And this is the best the "premier conference on aging research" can do.

No wonder we are in such trouble.
