Abstract
Old age is one of the important periods of human life, during which morphological and functional changes occur in the body. In particular, the decrease in physical activity with the passage of age causes the appearance of excess body weight in people. Weight gain occurs due to the accumulation of fat tissue in the body. Abdominal obesity occurs in people due to the accumulation of fat mainly in the abdomen and waist areas. The presence of abdominal obesity has a poor prognosis and leads to serious life-threatening diseases.
