Washington, Nov 7: A recent health study has found that older, obese adults are more likely to suffer disability in present times than a decade ago.

The study was conducted at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and involved 9,928 people age 60 years.

The study revealed that obesity, which had become more common among older people today, was having an increasingly profound impact on their day-to-day activities and overall health.

The recent research has challenged the earlier studies that say that obese populations had actually become healthier since the 1960s. While other obesity-related risk factors – such as high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol – had declined.
