What is the best form of exercise for older adults who are dieting? Doctors do not yet know the answer. But one study suggests that elderly dieters may be able to protect against bone thinning by doing resistance exercise. Medical experts often use body mass index, or BMI, to measure obesity, the condition of being very overweight. BMI compares a person’s height and weight. A BMI of around 30 or higher is considered obese. Worldwide the number of obese people has nearly tripled since 1975, notes the World Health Organization.
