Systematic review and meta-analyses: What has the application of Mendelian randomization told us about the causal effect of adiposity on health outcomes?

2023-09-13

Abstract excerpt

Mendelian randomization (MR) is increasingly used for generating estimates of the causal impact of exposures on outcomes. Evidence suggests a causal role of excess adipose tissue (adiposity) on many health outcomes. However, this body of work has not been systematically appraised. <ns4:p/> We systematically reviewed and meta-analysed results from MR studies investigating the association between adiposity and heal...
