Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The relationship between obesity and breast cancer risk remains complex and inconsistently observed in epidemiological studies due to potential confounding and reverse causation. Comprehensive Mendelian randomization analyses of multiple anthropometric traits, particularly central adiposity measures, and their stratified effects by estrogen receptor (ER) subtype are still lacking. METHODS: We...
