Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Shift work is associated with increased cardiometabolic disease risk. This observation may be partly explained by cardiometabolic risk factors having a role in the selection of individuals into or out of shift work. We performed Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses in the UK Biobank (UKB) to test this hypothesis. METHODS: We used genetic risk scores (GRS) to proxy nine cardiometabolic risk factors...
