Body Mass Index and the Risk of Atrial Fibrillation: A Mendelian Randomization Study.

Nutrients - 29 Apr 2022

Ma Mi, Zhi Hong, Yang Shengyi, Yu Evan Yi-Wen, Wang Lina

Abstract excerpt

Although observational studies have shown positive associations between body mass index (BMI) and the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), the causal relationship is still uncertain owing to the susceptibility to confounding and reverse causation. This study aimed to examine the potential causality of BMI on AF by conducting a two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR) study. METHODS: The independent genetic variants...
