"Thin" is a kind of beauty in the hearts of many people now, and it is also a healthy performance. I always thought that in old age, "three highs" would be easier to find you, and "thinness" could be prevented. Many people often say that "a thousand dollars is hard to buy old and thin", so the thinner the elderly, the healthier they really are.

We know that if you are overweight, the incidence of diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will also increase, so many elderly people think that being thin is a rare blessing.

"Thin" is necessarily healthier than obesity. However, the thinner the elderly, the better. If they are too thin, they should be alert to a disease-sarcopenia. Myopenia is common in middle-aged and elderly people, which will lead to the decline of patients' activity ability, emotional disorders, and even aggravate bone diseases and induce multiple metabolic syndromes. In addition, if the weight changes too much in recent months, such as the weight loss is particularly obvious, we should also pay attention.

For the elderly, being thin is better than being fat. It is too one-sided to consider only the weight, because the physical condition of the elderly is more complicated.

For the elderly, assessing health status is more important than simple weight. Generally, the factors to be considered are: 1. In addition to body mass index, waist circumference, body shape and body structure should also be considered. 2. Blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid levels. 3. Cardiopulmonary endurance. 4. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risks.

With the growth of age, our body will have various minor problems, so for the elderly, health preservation is a very important thing.
