Association of a Genetic Risk Score With Body Mass Index Across Different Birth Cohorts.

JAMA - 5 Jul 2016

Walter Stefan, Mejía-Guevara Iván, Estrada Karol, Liu Sze Y, Glymour M Maria

Abstract excerpt

IMPORTANCE: Many genetic variants are associated with body mass index (BMI). Associations may have changed with the 20th century obesity epidemic and may differ for black vs white individuals. OBJECTIVE: Using birth cohort as an indicator for exposure to obesogenic environment, to evaluate whether genetic predisposition to higher BMI has a larger magnitude of association among adults from more recent birth...
