Elderly subjects are more likely to develop obesity-associated comorbidities, as with increase in age there is decline in physiologic reserves [10] and obesity fur­ther accentuates this risk. In fact, the incidence of both diabetes and HTN surges in older individuals as the BMI increases. Increased age and obesity are consid­ered strongest factors for uncontrolled arterial hypertension and its incidence will rise the growth of the elderly obese population [11]. Similar trends are observed between elevated BMI and the risk of developing diabetes [12], coronary artery disease [13], and stroke [14]. Obesity has also been determined to be a major con­tributor to increase in incidence of osteoarthritis [15], erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence [16] and decline in renal function in older individuals [17]. In addi­tion to the physical decline, elderly obese compared to non-obese are at increased risk of cognitive decline. One study found that for every 1.0 increase in BMI at age 70 years, Alzheimers disease risk increased by 36% [18].
