Maternal central obesity and birth size: a Mendelian randomization analysis.

Lipids in health and disease - 31 Jul 2018

Geng Ting-Ting, Huang Tao

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Observational studies have illustrated that maternal central obesity is associated with birth size, including of birth weight, birth length and head circumference, but the causal nature of these associations remains unclear. Our study aimed to test the causal effect of maternal central obesity on birth size and puberty height growth using a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. METHODS: We performed...
