Is weight gain with aging inevitable? Discuss ways to maintain lean body mass as one ages


Weight gain is NOT inevitable, although there is a decline in fat-free or lean body mass through the decades, even if weight is stable. This leads to the loss of muscle mass. Simultaneously, visceral body fat increases. Physical activity and regular exercise can delay onset or progression of chronic disease as well as mitigating the effects of a sedentary lifestyle. Weight bearing and resistance exercise increases lean muscle mass and bone density.
