Non-linear interaction between physical activity and polygenic risk score of body mass index in Danish and Russian populations.

Body mass index (BMI) is a highly heritable polygenic trait. It is also affected by various environmental and behavioral risk factors. We used a BMI polygenic risk score (PRS) to study the interplay between the genetic and environmental factors defining BMI. First, we generated a BMI PRS that explai...

Non-linear interaction between physical activity and polygenic risk score of body mass index in Danish and Russian populations.
