Causal links between obesity, lipids, adipokines, and cognition: a bidirectional Mendelian-randomization analysis by Meng Gong, Haichao Liu, Zhixiang Liu, Yongshen Wang, Shiyi Qi, Hong Guo, Song Jin

“…BackgroundThe aim of this study was to explore the genetic level association between obesity, lipids, adipokines, and cognitive ability using bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) strategies.MethodsSummary data for three obesity indicators [body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BFP) and waist-hip ratio (WHR)], three lipid indicators [HDL cholesterol (HDL), LDL cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides (TG)], three adipokines [circulating leptin (LEP), Agouti-related protein (AgRP) and Adiponectin (APDN)], and four cognitive ability indicators [cognitive function (CF), cognitive performance (CP), simple reaction time (SRT) and fluid intelligence score (FIS)] were collected. …”
