Mendelian Randomization analysis of the causal impact of body mass index and waist-hip ratio on rates of hospital admission

2020-07-16

Abstract excerpt

We analyze how measures of adiposity – body mass index (BMI) and waist-hip ratio (WHR) – causally influence rates of hospital admission. Conventional analyses of this relationship are susceptible to omitted variable bias from variables that jointly influence both hospital admission and adipose status. We implement a novel quasi-Poisson instrumental variable modelsin a Mendelian Randomization framework, identifying...
