Abstract
- The article examines the relationship between obesity and mortality in a prospective cohort population of older people in China. The effect of body mass index on mortality varied with baseline health status. Furthermore, understanding the role of obesity and inactivity in older adults is urgent in the country. Findings suggest that for persons in poor health, physical activity is not associated with lower mortality.
