TFTove FallSHSara HäggRMReedik Mägi

Structured PICO

Does adiposity have a causal relationship with heart failure and increased liver enzymes?

I
Intervention
Adiposity
O
Outcome
Heart failure and increased liver enzymes

Mendelian randomization provides evidence supporting a causal link between adiposity and both heart failure and elevated liver enzymes.

Abstract

We provide novel evidence for a causal relationship between adiposity and heart failure as well as between adiposity and increased liver enzymes.
