Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Genetic evidence supports a causal association between higher BMI/fat mass index and an increased risk of aortic valve stenosis and other cardiovascular conditions.
This study provides evidence that higher BMI and particularly fat mass index are associated with increased risk of aortic valve stenosis and most other cardiovascular conditions.
