Mendelian randomization analysis of the causal impact of body mass index and waist-hip ratio on rates of hospital admission.

Economics and human biology - 1 Jan 2022

Hazewinkel Audinga-Dea, Richmond Rebecca C, Wade Kaitlin H, Dixon Padraig

Abstract excerpt

We analyze how measures of adiposity - body mass index (BMI) and waist hip ratio (WHR) - causally influence rates of hospital admission. Conventional analyses of this relationship are susceptible to omitted variable bias from variables that jointly influence both hospital admission and adipose status. We implement a novel quasi-Poisson instrumental variable model in a Mendelian randomization framework,...
