What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify the best telehealth weight loss approach for older adults with multiple health issues, potentially improving their health and reducing disability.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 180 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Weight loss in older adults carries risks like muscle loss or low blood sugar, which the study aims to minimize but cannot eliminate.
