Causal associations between body fat accumulation and COVID-19 severity: A Mendelian randomization study

2022-01-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Purpose</h4> The causal effects of body fat mass and body fat-free mass on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity remain unclear. Here, we used Mendelian randomization (MR) to evaluate the causal relationships between body fat-related traits and COVID-19 severity. <h4>Material and Methods</h4> We identified single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with body mass index (BMI) and direct measures of body...
