Estimating the influence of body mass index (BMI) on mortality using offspring BMI as an instrumental variable
OBJECTIVE: High body mass index (BMI) is an important predictor of mortality but estimating underlying causality is hampered by confounding and pre-existing disease. Here we use information from the offspring to approximate parental BMIs, with an aim to avoid biased estimation of mortality risk caus...
