The association of DNA methylation with body mass index: distinguishing between predictors and biomarkers

30 Mar 2020

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: DNA methylation is associated with body mass index (BMI), but it is not clear if methylation scores are biomarkers for extant BMI or predictive of future BMI. Here, we explore the causal nature and predictive utility of DNA methylation measured in peripheral blood with BMI and cardiometabolic traits. METHODS: Analyses were conducted across the life course using the ARIES cohort of mothers (n = 792)...
