Identifying Four Obesity Axes Through Integrative Multiomics and Imaging Analysis
24 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
We aimed to identify distinct axes of obesity using advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived phenotypes. We used 24 MRI-derived fat distribution and muscle volume measures (UK Biobank; N = 33,122) to construct obesity axes through principal component analysis. Genome-wide association studies were performed for each axis to uncover genetic factors, followed by pathway enrichment, genetic correlation, and...
