Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for body fat distribution in 694,649 individuals of European ancestry

2018-04-18

Abstract excerpt

One in four adults worldwide are either overweight or obese. Epidemiological studies indicate that the location and distribution of excess fat, rather than general adiposity, is most informative for predicting risk of obesity sequellae, including cardiometabolic disease and cancer. We performed a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of body fat distribution, measured by waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI (...
