Studies of the association between obesity and chronic diseases are primarily based on cross-sectional data, which is insufficient to deduce a temporal relationship. Using nationally representative panel data, this study aims to investigate whether obesity is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes, heart diseases, asthma, arthritis, and depression in Australian middle-aged and older adults. | DOI: | 10.1371/journal.pone.0260158 | URL: | https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0260158 | Research collection: | Journal Articles |
