BMI-related Genetic Factors and COPD Imaging Phenotypes

2024-08-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> While low body mass index (BMI) is associated with emphysema and obesity is associated with airway disease in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the underlying mechanisms are unclear. <h4>Methods</h4> We aggregated genetic variants from population-based genome-wide association studies to generate a polygenic score of BMI (PGS BMI ). We calculated this score for participants from COPD...
