Metrics that matter: Identifying endpoints for capturing the broad health impacts of prevention of obesity
Authors' conclusion
We developed a novel framework that shortlisted five key cardiometabolic outcome measures for assessing obesity primary prevention benefits, with potential applications in health economic modelling and public health.
