Aims/hypothesis Excess adiposity is differentially associated with increased risk of
cardiometabolic disease in men and women, according to observational studies. Causal …

Background: Adiposity, as indicated by body mass index (BMI), has been associated with
risk of cardiovascular diseases in epidemiological studies. We aimed to investigate if these …

Aims The aim of this study was to investigate the causal relationship and evidence of an
association between increased adiposity and the risk of incident cardiovascular disease …

Observational studies have reported different effects of adiposity on cardiovascular risk
factors across age and sex. Since cardiovascular risk factors are enriched in obese …

Background 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 …

Context Type 2 diabetes and obesity often coexist, so it is difficult to judge whether diabetes
or obesity induce certain types of hyperlipidemia due to mutual confounds and reverse …

Background The association between adiposity and cardiometabolic traits is well known
from epidemiological studies. Whilst the causal relationship is clear for some of these traits …

Obesity-related traits have been associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) in
observational studies, but these associations may be biased by confounding factors and …

Aims The data regarding the associations of body mass index (BMI) with cardiovascular
(CVD) risk, especially for those at the low categories of BMI, are conflicting. The aim of our …

Objective There is current debate regarding whether body weight variability is associated
with cardiovascular events. Recently, high body fat percentage (BF%) has been shown to be …
