You'd think, but no. The people who are fat all their lives suffer more for it, but there are plenty of fatties who qualify as elderly who got fat later in life. Generally speaking the fat ones tend to be on the lower end of elderly--90 year olds get to be 90 by taking care of themselves--but you take care of plenty of 65yo fatties in geriatrics. Especially if they live in an old folks home. The food their tends to be cheap and fattening (in part because they don't want anything to be underweight, in part because the people running the kitchen are cheap). Old folk homes also can't cut a patient off if they keep asking for more food, because that's considered elder abuse. So you get a lot of older people, many of whom are at least a little depressed, with access to essentially unlimited fattening food. The ones who lived alright up until their wife died because she fed them well, or who grew up without the same access to junk food and that's the only reasons they weren't fat all their life, will balloon up.

But I will say the ratio is a littler different. When I did elder care, the patients who were high-end overweight or class I obese were the most likely to need help, but there were plenty of old folks were were in good shape for their age. And plenty of old folks who, with or without dementia, would vocally announce if they saw someone fat.

If only... the majority of NICU patients are the children of obeasts. Imagine investing all that energy and care into a tiny little innocent and then releasing them to idiot hamplanet parents.
