Obesity as a causal risk factor for deep venous thrombosis: a Mendelian randomization study.

Journal of internal medicine - 1 May 2015

Klovaite J, Benn M, Nordestgaard B G

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that obesity is causally associated with deep venous thrombosis (DVT). DESIGN: A Mendelian randomization design. SETTING: The Copenhagen General Population Study and the Copenhagen City Heart Study combined. SUBJECTS: Body mass index (BMI) measurements were available for 87, 574 individuals of Danish descent from the adult general population. All subjects completed questionnaires...
