New massive study on lean mass, fat mass and all-cause mortality

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/...002/jcsm.12921

"We analysed data of NHANES 1988–1994 and 1999–2014, with 55 818 participants [50.6% female, baseline mean age: 45.0 years (SE, 0.2)]."

"In this US general population, predicted fat mass and lean mass were independent predictors for overall and cause-specific mortality. Age was a significant modifier on the associations."

They find that for older participants, predicted fat mass isn't that predictive of all-cause mortality whereas predicted lean mass still is. May be confounders here (e.g. leaner individuals are more likely to be smokers) but they still find similar results when attempting to control for some of those.
