Genetically Predicted Visceral Adipose Tissue and Risk of Nine Non-tumor Gastrointestinal Diseases: Evidence from A Mendelian Randomization Study
2022-11-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Numerous studies have linked visceral adipose tissue (VAT) to gastrointestinal diseases. However, it remains unclear whether those associations reflect causality. Methods We used a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to elucidate the causal effect of VAT on nine non-tumor gastrointestinal diseases. The inverse-variance weighted method was used to perform MR analyses. Complementa...
