Characteristic gait patterns in older adults with obesity—Results from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging

Abstract Obesity in older adults is a growing public health problem. Excess weight causes biomechanical burden to lower extremity joints and contribute to joint pathology. The aim of this study was to identify specific characteristics of gait associated with body mass index (BMI). Preferred and maxi...
