Impact of body composition on COVID-19 susceptibility and severity: a two-sample multivariable Mendelian randomization study

2020-07-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Objectives</h4> Recent studies suggested obesity to be a possible risk factor for COVID-19 disease in the wake of the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection. However, the causality and especially the role of body fat distribution in this context is still unclear.
