Body Mass Index and Risk of Alzheimer's Disease: A Mendelian Randomization Study of 399,536 Individuals.

The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism - 1 Jul 2017

Abstract excerpt

Context: Recently, data on 2,000,000 people established that low body mass index (BMI) is associated with increased risk of dementia. Whether this observational association reflects a causal effect remains to be clarified. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that there is a causal association between low BMI and high risk of Alzheimer's disease. Design, Setting, and Participants: Using a Mendelian randomization...
