Wt loss in older adults can significantly reduce LBM; attenuated by moderate aerobic activity. Bryner RW, et al. J Am Coll Nutr. 1999;18(2): Critical to monitor body composition throughout weight loss; especially so in older adults who are prone to sarcopenia (older adults are becoming more obese while losing more muscle and bone mass at the same time). Diet-induced wt loss may accelerate loss of muscle mass. Moderate aerobic exercise attenuates loss of LBM (lean muscle mass). Chomentowski et al.
