High tobacco consumption lowers body weight: a Mendelian randomization study of the Copenhagen General Population Study.

International journal of epidemiology - 1 Apr 2015

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Conflicting evidence has been found regarding the association between high tobacco consumption and body weight among smokers. We tested the hypothesis that high tobacco consumption is causally associated with low body weight. METHODS: We conducted a Mendelian randomization study with a genetic variant in CHRNA3 (rs1051730) as proxy for high tobacco consumption. The cohort consisted of 80,342...
