Obesity is a major health problem worldwide. Obesity prevalence in Chilean older adults (OA) is increasing,associated with several negative health outcomes. Therefore, determining critical periods of adiposity increase is relevant in OA. Theaim of the study was to assess body composition changes in OA during summer holidays. This observational study involved two testvisits, without a control group. Twelve OA (9 females) with an average age of 71.92±6.97 years participated in an initial evaluation (E1)and final evaluation (E2) at the beginning and at the end of the summer in 2015. Weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) wereassessed; fat-free mass (FFM), fat mass (FM), and muscular mass (MM) data were collected through foot-to-foot bioimpedance analysis.No significant variations were reported in weight and BMI between E1 and E2. This prevalence was maintained between E1 and E2. TheFM significantly increased between E1 (27.63±10.91) and E2 (28.64±11.39) (p= 0.007), while the FFM significantly decreased betweenE1 (45.38±5.89) and E2 (44.33±5.36) (P= 0.006), also the MM between E1 (43.08±5.62) and E2 (42.07±5.10). Both, weight and BMIare insufficient measures for detecting changes during this critical summer holiday period. However, the body composition measuresidentified significant changes in the OA during the study
