The continuing increase in prevalence of obesity in older adults including many older Veterans has become a major health concern. The clinical trial will test the central hypothesis that a multicomponent intervention consisting of lifestyle therapy (diet-induced weight loss and exercise training) plus metformin will be the most effective strategy for reversing sarcopenic obesity and frailty in older Veterans with obesity.
