Body mass index: Has epidemiology started to break down causal contributions to health and disease?

Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.) - 1 Aug 2016

Corbin Laura J, Timpson Nicholas J

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To review progress in understanding the methods and results concerning the causal contribution of body mass index (BMI) to health and disease. METHODS: In the context of conventional evidence focused on the relationship between BMI and health, this review considers current literature on the common, population-based, genetic contribution to BMI and how this has fed into the developing field of applied...
