Are you looking forward to your golden years, the time when you can finally stop working and start living your life? If you're obese, those golden years might not be so golden, new studies are showing. In general, findings found the obesity significantly hindered senior's ability to participate in normal physical activities like getting dressed and walking between rooms. Non-obese elders, on the other hand, were unlikely to become functionally impaired.
