Does weight matter with age?
Older adults tend to lose muscle and bone, so more of their body weight is likely to come from fat. Younger people and athletes may weigh more due to strong muscles and denser bones. These realities can skew your BMI number and make it less accurate for predicting exact body fat levels.
Is weight affected by age?
As you age, your muscle mass decreases and your fat mass increases. Fat is less metabolically active than muscle—you don’t need as many calories to maintain fat as you do to maintain muscle. Hormonal changes can also lead to weight gain.
