- Title
Comment on Baranova et al. Causal Associations Between Basal Metabolic Rate and COVID-19. Diabetes 2023;72:149–154.

- Abstract
The article focuses on the criticism of a study claiming a causal link between basal metabolic rate (BMR) and COVID-19, as the methodological approach used relied on a predicted value of BMR rather than directly measured data, raising concerns about the validity of the results and the use of genetic associations derived from predicted BMR.
