Collective results of Mendelian randomization studies. (A) Increased risk of cardiovascular events per 1 kg/m² increase in body mass index. (B) Increased risk of cardiovascular events per 5 kg/m² increase in body mass index. (C) Increased risk of death per 1 kg/m² increase in body mass index. All results are based on random-effects models. The cohort and cases columns display the number of independent cohorts and the number of cases incorporated in the meta-analysis for the outcome. BMI, body mass index; ES, effect size; HR, hazard ratio; OR, odds ratio; RR, risk ratio or relative risk.
