Abstract excerpt
This study investigates the potential causal relationship between circulating ketone bodies, specifically beta-hydroxybutyrate (β-OHB), and the risk of myocardial infarction (MI), addressing limitations of confounding and reverse causation inherent in previous observational studies. We employed both univariable Mendelian randomization and multivariable Mendelian randomization (MVMR) analyses using publicly...
