Have you seen a fat old person?

[Jayburner]

Just dawned om me I can't recall ever seeing an old fat person ever...excluding Santa Claus.

[Aronaz]

Come to sweden and visit, here's plenty of them!

I'm not talking 60's or 70's but old old like 80 and up.

You'd probably need to spend time in nursing homes or hospitals to notice them though, obese and elderly does not usually mean that they'll be that active and about. My grandmother lived to 96 and was pretty chunky and I spent a lot of time in both nursing homes with her and the hospital with both her and my grandfather before they died and I definitely saw overweight elderly - as well as very underweight elderly.

I'm watching womens soccer. I have lots of thoughts in my head right now.

Yes, of course, ever been to America?

Albeit, the closer you get to death, typically the slimmer you become. Your body is breaking down, and you need less energy to sustain what little life you have left.

Your other thread was just as blunt, to the point, possibly abusive and unconstructive.

I'm seriously not sure if you're posting to just increase your post count, or because you genuinely think such stupid threads need to be covered.

On-Topic: People tend to gain a little weight as they age, but the older generations (60+) have grown up in a time when they have self-control and discapline. These days people are given free reign of their entire lives, and clearly they can't handle that.

If people are given freedom and make a mess of it, take it off them and make an example of the fools who ruin it for everyone. Show people what happens to that burger, show them what happens when you keep eating chips all day and refuse them national health services and you'll watch the obesity epidemics dry up within 1 generation.

Yes, as I said before.

You know what. I just remembered growing up and having 2 grannies. One was called "skinny granny" and the other was "fat granny" I guess they are out there.

Most people who are fat or overweight are what I would call old or middle aged(I'm in Sweden). Young people generally exercise more.

[Tziva]

I live in America where most people are overweight, so yes. Lots.

I want the last 30 seconds of my life back.

[anveena]

I've seen quite a few.

This thread is silly... But OT: As others have said, the VERY old/those battling diseases typically effecting the elderly will look saggy and willowy, especially if they dropped a lot of weight due to their body having to consume it to survive. However, as a Florida resident I can personally attest to there being tons of fat old people. Another thing is that later in life obesity causes so many mounting health problems that really large people often, unfortunately, drop off before their golden years.

My own grandmother was large due to her quitting alcohol and finding solace in sweets instead, and was fairly large from the time I was born in her late 50s to recently, in her early 80s. She's still a bit stockier than some at that age but has shrank so much, it's scary. We're all worried about her.

since you exclude people in their 60s and 70s then what are you expecting? there arent many 80 year olds to begin with ive personally only ever met 1. so add in the fact that most people dont live to be 80 and that being fat typically makes you live shorter lifespans yeah theres not many fat 80 year olds

[DeltrusDisc]

Come to America.... I've seen PLENTY and I don't exactly go out looking for them...

[Deleted]

No, I have never seen a fat old person.

Most people do make it to 80, where do you live?
Expected age of death for women is 84-85 here, men 80-81.
