Educational attainment as a modifier of the effect of polygenic scores for cardiovascular risk factors: cross-sectional and prospective analysis of UK Biobank

2021-03-24

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Understanding the interplay between educational attainment and genetic predictors of cardiovascular risk may improve our understanding of mechanisms relating educational attainment to cardiovascular disease. <h4>Methods</h4> In up to 320 120 UK Biobank participants of White British ancestry (mean age = 57, female 54%), we created polygenic scores for nine cardiovascular risk factors or diseases...
