Genetic Predisposition to Obesity and Medicare Expenditures.

The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences - 12 Dec 2017

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The relationship between obesity and health expenditures is not well understood. We examined the relationship between genetic predisposition to obesity measured by a polygenic risk score for body mass index (BMI) and Medicare expenditures. METHODS: Biennial interview data from the Health and Retirement Survey for a nationally representative sample of older adults enrolled in fee-for-service Medicare...
