KUDOS, FATSOS!
"Dr Iain Lang, who led the research from the Peninsula Medical School, commented: '...all older people who are overweight are at significantly increased risk of developing problems with mobility and carrying out everyday tasks.'No strain if we don't pay for them.
He added: 'This research is important because a growing proportion of the population is aged 65 or over, and more and more of these older people are overweight. In fact, in most developed countries middle-aged and elderly adults are more likely to be obese than people in any other age group. These findings have huge significance for the delivery of health care, both now and in the future. Increasing numbers of older people and higher levels of overweight and obesity will lead to a greater burden of disability and ill health and place an immense strain on health and social services. The issue is likely to get worse as time goes on and represents a ticking time bomb for health services around the world.'"
