- Abstract
The article discusses the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study on anthropometric measures, such as Body Mass Index (BMI) and fat mass, as predictors of all-cause mortality associated with obesity conducted in Victoria. It says that two sensitivity analyses were carried out to examine the impact of pre-attendance diseases on the relationship between the anthropometric measures and mortality. Characteristics of participants in the study are also described.
