Causal Effect of Visceral Adipose Tissue Accumulation on the Human Longevity: A Mendelian Randomization Study

ObjectiveObservational studies have demonstrated a close relationship between obesity and longevity. The aim of this Mendelian randomization (MR) study is to investigate whether genetic determinants of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) accumulation are causally associated with longevity.MethodsIn this t...
