Causal associations of adiposity and body fat distribution with coronary heart disease, dtroke dubtypes, and type 2 diabetes mellitus: a Mendelian randomization analysis

The implications of different adiposity measures on cardiovascular disease etiology remain unclear. In this article, we quantify and contrast causal associations of central adiposity (waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for body mass index [WHRadjBMI]) and general adiposity (body mass index [BMI]) with card...
