Higher BMI is linked to an increased risk of heart attacks in European adults: a Mendelian randomisation study.

BMC cardiovascular disorders - 29 May 2020

Adams Benjamin, Jacocks Lauren, Guo Hui

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: BMI has been implicated as a risk factor for heart disease as a whole in multiple studies. Heart attack is one of the common complications of this disease. The aim of this study is to explore if elevated level of BMI causes an increase in the risk of heart attacks. METHODS: We used two Mendelian randomisation (MR) methods: inverse variance weighted estimation and robust adjusted profile score (RAPS)...
