Many women wish they could lose a few pounds, but keeping a stable weight in later life instead could boost the odds of reaching 100.A study of more than 50,000 women over the age of 60 compared those who kept their weight broadly stable over three years to those who lost at least 5 per cent.The women who lost weight were 38 per cent less likely to reach their 100th birthday. They were 33 per cent less likely to make it to the age of 90, and 35 per cent less likely to survive to the age of 95.
