The effect of elevated body mass index on ischemic heart disease risk: causal estimates from a Mendelian randomisation approach.
<h4>Background</h4>Adiposity, assessed as elevated body mass index (BMI), is associated with increased risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD); however, whether this is causal is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that positive observational associations between BMI and IHD are causal.<h4...
