Identifying effects of genetic obesity exposure on leukocyte telomere length using Mendelian randomization

Background Observational studies have shown that obesity is closely associated with leukocyte telomere length (LTL). However, the causal relationship between obesity and LTL remains unclear. This study investigated the causal relationship between obesity and LTL through the Mendelian randomization a...
