Researchers used data from the Aspirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly clinical trial, which took record of the patient’s weight annually between 2010 and 2014., as little as a 5% drop in body weight resulted in a higher risk of all-cause mortality compared to those who maintained their weight. they found.
The research team, led by Dr. Monira Hussain of Monash University in Australia, did not note whether the weight loss was intentional, such as through a restricted diet, or unintentional, due to illness and otherwise.
