Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The ability to taste 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) may be associated with body composition, but previous findings from observational studies are conflicting and cannot be interpreted causally. The aim of this study was to estimate the causal association between PROP taster status and body composition in a population-based cohort study. METHODS: The study was embedded in a population-based prospective...
