Ethnic differences in body composition and obesity related risk factors: study in Chinese and white males living in China.

The purpose of this cross-sectional observational study was to identify ethnic differences in body composition and obesity-related risk factors between Chinese and white males living in China. 115 Chinese and 114 white male pilots aged 28-63 years were recruited. Fasting body weight, height and bloo...
