Investigating the correlation of hip circumference to cardiovascular disease and type‐2 diabetes using Mendelian randomization
After adjusting for BMI, adipose tissue concentrated in the hip region showed a protective effect against type 2 diabetes mellitus but not against CVD. These findings offer insights into diabetes prevention and treatment strategies, and may inform plastic surgery procedures. Further research is needed to validate these findings and explore underlying mechanisms.
