Table 5. Mendelian randomization using an inverse weighted variant method.

Potential Risk factor IVW method1 MR-EGGER intercept p-value2

*Loci used were initially reported in an analysis of fasting insulin adjusted for BMI.

1IVW = inverse weighted variant,

2Mendelian Randomization (MR)-Egger intercept p values were not significant. Therefore, MR-Egger results are not presented.
