Results of MR Using Continuous Genetic Scoresa With Interaction Between HGS and BMI

Outcome HR Per Unit Increase in HGS At the Median BMI HR Per Unit Increase in BMI at the Median HGS Interaction Term (HR) Interaction P Value
Fatal/non‐fatal CVD 1.02 (0.97–1.08) 1.04 (1.00–1.07) 0.97 (0.89–1.05) 0.434
CVD mortality 0.88 (0.75–1.02) 1.03 (0.94–1.13) 1.12 (0.89–1.40) 0.344
All‐cause mortality 0.86 (0.79–0.94) 1.00 (0.96–1.06) 1.08 (0.95–1.22) 0.239

BMI indicates body mass index; CVD, cardiovascular disease; HGS, hand‐grip strength; HR, hazard ratio; WHR, waist‐hip‐ratio.
