The adverse impact of obesity on health outcomes may be lower in older adults and African Americans than the general US population. To examine and compare the relationship between obesity and all-cause mortality and functional decline among older US adults. Longitudinal cohort study. Secondary analysis of data from the 1994-2000 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey linked to Medicare Enrollment files through 4/22/2008. 20,975 community-dwelling participants of the 1994-2000 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey who were aged 65 and older. All-cause mortality through 4/22/2008; new/worsening disability in performing activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) within 2 years. Of the study sample, 37% were overweight (BMI 25-30 kg/m2), and 18% were obese (BMI>30 kg/m2); 48% died during the 14 years of follow-up; 27% had ADL and 43% had IADL disability at baseline. Of those without severe disability at baseline, 17% developed new/worsening ADL disability within 2 years; 26% developed new/worsening IADL disability. After adjustment, adults with a BMI>35 kg/m2 were the only group above the normal BMI range that were at higher risk of mortality [Hazard Ratio in men, 1.49 (1.20, 1.85) and in women, 1.21 (1.06, 1.39)] when compared to the reference group (BMI=22.0-24.9 kg/m2), p=0.003 for BMI-sex interaction. In contrast, both overweight and obesity were associated with new or progressive ADL and IADL disability in a dose-dependent fashion, particularly for White men and women. We detected significant interactions between BMI and sex, but not between BMI and race for any outcome although risk estimates for ADL disability appeared generally attenuated in African Americans relative to Whites. Observational study; baseline data are self-reported; limited power to detect differences between Whites and African Americans. Among older US adults, obesity was not associated with mortality except for those with at least moderately severe obesity. However, lower levels of obesity were associated with the development of new or worsening disability within two years. Efforts to prevent disability in older adults should target those who are overweight or obese.
