This is a natural phenomenon. in old age as your wife is following the proper life style and taking medicine regularly. If loss of weight is not drastic and associated with weakness an decrease in stamina, need not to worry if it is associated with loss of stamina also . kindly get her thoroughly checked for any hidden pathology
