- Abstract
The article comments on the Mendelian randomization (MR) study by G.D. Carrasquilla and colleagues which examined the link between smoking and abdominal obesity. Topics discussed include the role of smoking initiation and lifetime smoking in increasing abdominal adiposity, ways in which the study differ from other MR research, and the triangulation of results from an MR analysis with findings from other methods to strengthen evidence on causality.
