Assessing the causal effects of type 2 diabetes and obesity-related traits on COVID-19 severity
These findings highlight the causal role of T2D and obesity-related traits in COVID-19 severity, emphasizing the need for targeted prevention and management strategies for high-risk populations. The robustness of our MR analysis, even in the presence of sample overlap, strengthens the reliability of these causal inferences.
