Association of a genetic risk score with BMI along the life-cycle: Evidence from several US cohorts.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2020

Sanz-de-Galdeano Anna, Terskaya Anastasia, Upegui Angie

Abstract excerpt

We use data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health and from the Health and Retirement Study to explore how the effect of individuals' genetic predisposition to higher BMI -measured by BMI polygenic scores- changes over the life-cycle for several cohorts. We find that the effect of BMI polygenic scores on BMI increases significantly as teenagers transition into adulthood (using the Add...
