Effect of basal metabolic rate on lifespan: a sex-specific Mendelian randomization study.

Scientific reports - 12 May 2023

Ng Jack C M, Schooling C Mary

Abstract excerpt

Observationally, the association of basal metabolic rate (BMR) with mortality is mixed, although some ageing theories suggest that higher BMR should reduce lifespan. It remains unclear whether a causal association exists. In this one-sample Mendelian randomization study, we aimed to estimate the casual effect of BMR on parental attained age, a proxy for lifespan, using two-sample Mendelian randomization methods....
