The goal of this study is to assess the amount of weight regain and subsequent changes in body composition following a 5-month weight loss program in older women. Assessment of body composition, physical activity and food intake, fasting lipoprotein lipids, glucose, and insulin, blood pressure, and physical performance, including walking distance, grip and knee extensor strength, and self-reported physical function are measured at 6- and 12-months after the completion of weight loss.
