Results were presented Saturday at the /*American Geriatrics Society*/'s annual meeting in Chicago.
About 5,888 men and women older than 65 were enrolled in the /*Cardiovascular Health Study*/ at /*Duke University Medical Center*/ in Durham, North Carolina.
A researcher said the study suggested the tendency to put on extra weight with child-bearing, and around menopause, means a loss of independence for women as they grow older.
Researchers say the study suggests women should be encouraged to make better decisions earlier in their lives.
