- Lifestyle interventions combining nutrition, exercise, and behavior change (NUT+EX+BCI) improve physical function in older adults with obesity, based on high certainty evidence.
- NUT+EX+BCI may reduce body and fat mass without significantly harming fat-free mass or bone mineral density, though the evidence is very uncertain.
- Other single or combined interventions may be effective, but effects are often imprecise; data on psychosocial outcomes, quality of life, and health events are insufficient or too heterogeneous for clear conclusions.
- Further research is needed, particularly in frail populations and on patient-relevant outcomes, to strengthen the evidence base for obesity management in older adults.
