The relationship between BMI and COVID-19: exploring misclassification and selection bias in a two-sample Mendelian randomisation study

2022-03-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objective</h4> To use the example of the effect of body mass index (BMI) on COVID-19 susceptibility and severity to illustrate methods to explore potential selection and misclassification bias in Mendelian randomisation (MR) of COVID-19 determinants. <h4>Design</h4> Two-sample MR analysis. <h4>Setting</h4> <h4>Summarys: </h4>tatistics from the Genetic Investigation of ANthropometric Traits (GIANT) and COVID-19...
