A lifecourse mendelian randomization study highlights the long-term influence of childhood body size on later life heart structure
9 Jun 2022
Abstract excerpt
Children with obesity typically have larger left ventricular heart dimensions during adulthood. However, whether this is due to a persistent effect of adiposity extending into adulthood is challenging to disentangle due to confounding factors throughout the lifecourse.
