Mendelian randomization analyses provide evidence for a causal relationship of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion on body weight, consistent with the carbohydrate-insulin model of obesity. By contrast, higher genetically determined BMI was not associated with insulin-30. Similar positive associations were noted in sensitivity analyses using other genetic variants as instrumental variables. Higher genetically determined insulin-30 was strongly associated with higher BMI (β = 0.098, P = 2.2 × 10 -21), consistent with a causal role in obesity. Data from the Cardiology and Metabolic Patient Cohort study at Massachusetts General Hospital (n = 1675) were used to validate genetic associations with insulin secretion and to test the observational association of insulin secretion and BMI. If the market was not open on one of the dates you select, the next closest date is used. This comparator computes the change in the daily closing price of each index between any two days from when the indexes are first published to the present.

Data sources included summary results from the largest published metaanalyses of predominantly European ancestry for insulin secretion (n = 26037) and BMI (n = 322154), as well as individual-level data from the UK Biobank (n = 138541).

Genetic instruments of variation of insulin secretion were used to estimate the causal relationship between increased insulin secretion and body mass index (BMI), using bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis of genome-wide association studies. We used genetic variation to isolate and estimate the potentially causal effect of insulin secretion on body weight. However, fasting hyperinsulinemia can also be driven by obesity-induced insulin resistance.
