Genetically determined body mass index mediates the effect of smoking on type 2 diabetes risk, but not coronary artery disease risk

2020-02-03

Abstract excerpt

Clinical observations have linked tobacco smoking with increased type 2 diabetes risk (1–5), a major public health concern (6). Mendelian randomization analysis has recently suggested smoking may be a causal risk factor for type 2 diabetes (7).
