abstract = {To determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity, and
to identify factors associated with obesity, among the
oldest old.For this study, data from follow-up (FU) wave 7
and FU wave 8 of the 'Study on Needs, Health Service Use,
Costs and Health-Related Quality of Life in a Large Sample
of Oldest-Old Primary Care Patients (85+)' (AgeQualiDe) were
used. At FU wave 7, the mean age was 88.9 years (SD: 2.9;
85-100 years). Body-mass-index (BMI) categories were defined
according to the World Health Organization (WHO) thresholds:
underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m²), normal weight (18.5 kg/m²
≤ BMI < 25 kg/m²), overweight (25 kg/m² ≤ BMI < 30
kg/m²), and obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²). Longitudinal
regression analysis was used to determine factors associated
with obesity.At FU wave 7, 3.0 $\%$ were underweight, 48.9
$\%$ were normal weight, 37.9 $\%$ were overweight, and 10.2
$\%$ were obese. Regressions showed that the probability of
obesity decreased with age (OR: 0.77 [95 $\%$ CI:
.593-.999]) and less chronic conditions (OR: 1.32 [95 $\%$
CI: 1.11-1.57]). The probability of obesity was not
associated with sex, educational level, marital status,
social isolation, visual impairment, hearing impairment,
depression, and dementia.Nearly half of the individuals in
very late life had excess weight. Thus, excess weight
remains a major challenge, even in very old age. Given the
demographic ageing in upcoming decades, this is an issue
which we should be aware of.},
