Comparison of the association of fat mass, BMI, and other obesity indicators with all-cause and cause-specific mortality

scientific rationale: it is still unclear which indicator of obesity is highly close to all-cause mortality and cause-specific mortality.

public health impact: The founding of our study will help us control obesity and choose suitable indicators of obesity

project duration:3 years
