MR-PRESSO analysis was only carried out for associations with a significant global test p value (p < 0.05).

a‘All’ represents analyses with all selected IVs; ‘Removed 1’ represents analyses after removing proxy IVs; ‘Removed 2’ represents analyses after removing potential pleiotropic SNPs (related to body fat mass and height).

Bonferroni corrected significance level (0.05/3 = 0.016) was used to correct for multiple comparisons.

*p<0.016.

CAD: coronary artery disease; MR-PRESSO: Mendelian Randomization Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier; IVs: instrumental variables; CI: confidence interval; OR: odds ratio.
