Genetics identifies obesity as a shared risk factor for co-occurring multiple long-term conditions

2024-07-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Multimorbidity, the co-occurrence of multiple long-term conditions (LTCs), is an increasingly important clinical problem, but often little is known about the underlying causes. Observational studies are highly susceptible to confounding and bias, and patients with multiple LTCs are usually excluded from randomised controlled trials. We investigate the role of a potentially critical multimorbidi...
