BackgroundIndividuals who are obese in childhood have an elevated risk of cardiometabolic disease in adulthood. However, whether childhood adiposity directly impacts intermediate markers of this risk, independent of adult adiposity, is unclear. Methods and ResultsWe conducted a multivariable Mendelian randomization (MR) study to simultaneously evaluate the effects of childhood and adulthood body size on over 100 systemic molecular biomarkers representing multiple metabolic pathways. We first va...
