Associations between genetic obesity susceptibility and early postnatal fat and lean mass: an individual participant meta-analysis
Importance Patterns of body size and body composition associated with genetic obesity
susceptibility inform the mechanisms that increase obesity risk. Objective To test
associations between genetic obesity susceptibility, represented by a combined obesity risk-
allele score, and body size or body composition at birth to age 5 years. Design, Setting, and
Participants A total of 3031 children from 4 birth cohort studies in England, France, and
Spain were included in a meta-analysis. Exposures A combined obesity risk-allele score …
