Causal associations between body fat accumulation and COVID-19 severity: A Mendelian randomization study

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Previous studies reported associations between obesity measured by body mass index (BMI) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, BMI is calculated only with height and weight and cannot distinguish between body fat mass and fat-free mass. Thus,
