Causal relevance of obesity on the leading causes of death in women and men: A Mendelian randomization study

2019-01-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Obesity traits are causally implicated with risk of cardiometabolic diseases. It remains unclear whether there are similar causal effects of obesity traits on other non-communicable diseases. Also, it is largely unexplored whether there are any sex-specific differences in the causal effects of obesity traits on cardiometabolic diseases and other leading causes of death. We therefore tested ass...
