Weight, Worry, And Wallet Predict Functional Limitations In Older Women.
2001 NOV 22 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Obese, middle-age women are nearly twice as likely to have substantial physical limitations than women of average weight, according to a new study.
The study also reports that women in their 40s and 50s who report a high level of stress, those who cannot afford to buy basic necessities and those who have certain medical problems are more likely to have trouble with daily activities such as bathing, carrying groceries or climbing stairs.
The study by Sandra K. Pope, PhD, MPH, of the University of Arkansas for Medical Services and published in the September/October, 2001 edition of Women's Health Issues, was based on a national survey of more than 16,000 women between 40 and 55. They were asked about their physical function as related to their ability to carry out activities including bathing, dressing, carrying groceries, bending, moderate and vigorous activities, walking and climbing stairs.
