Modern individuals who often eat out and have low physical activity, coupled with poor lifestyle and dietary habits, are at risk of developing 'muscle-less obesity,' where muscle loss accelerates with age and body fat rapidly increases. This condition, more prevalent among the elderly in the past, is now increasing in middle-aged and dining-out populations over 40. Wang Yinghui, a nutritionist at the Nutrition Department of Taipei Hospital, warns that this type of obesity, where fat surpasses muscle resulting in the appearance of 'muscle-less obesity' or 'oil-wrapped meat,' carries a 20% higher risk of cardiovascular diseases compared to simple obesity and an even higher risk of metabolic diseases. Older individuals with muscle-less obesity are more prone to conditions like hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia, have reduced mobility, and face higher risks of falls and death, necessitating immediate improvement. Wang Yinghui recommends balanced diet, adequate protein intake, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, along with aerobic and resistance exercises to prevent and effectively address muscle-less obesity.
