An epigenetic score for BMI based on DNA methylation correlates with poor physical health and major disease in the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936

2018-03-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> The relationship between obesity and adverse health is well established, but little is known about the contribution of DNA methylation to obesity-related health outcomes. Additionally, it is of interest whether such contributions are independent of those attributed by the most widely used clinical measure of body mass – the Body Mass Index (BMI). <h4>Method</h4> We tested...
