The term 'obesity paradox' may reflect a lack of understanding of the complex pathophysiology of obesity.

Understanding the complexities of obesity may help in better addressing its health implications.

Elderly adults have reduced mitochondrial capacity and a trend for decreased coupling efficiency compared to young adults.

Practitioners should consider the impact of aging on mitochondrial function when addressing metabolic health in elderly populations.

Elderly adults exhibit greater whole-body oxidative stress and less skeletal muscle mass compared to young adults.

Understanding the relationship between oxidative stress and muscle mass can help in developing interventions for elderly health.

Amateur weightlifters and bodybuilders are a new risk group for developing dental caries.

Awareness and preventive measures should be implemented for this group to mitigate dental health risks.

Methods of oral hygiene reported by participants appear to be insufficient.
