1st author publication #2 TODAY by the brilliant Elsa Ojalehto 🌟Here, we examined differences in the obesity-CVD association in relation to #geneticpredisposition, highlighting that #obesity is a heterogeneous and complex phenotype with different causes and consequences

Adults with #obesity and a genetically predicted low BMI may have a higher risk for developing CVD than those with genetically predicted obesity, according to new findings published in eClinicalMedicine – The Lancet Discovery Science Ida Karlsson Elsa Ojalehto Karolinska Institutet bit.ly/3KAEn71

ICYMI: "It is plausible that individuals with genetic predisposition to a high BMI can cope better with having a higher weight.” eClinicalMedicine – The Lancet Discovery Science Ida Karlsson Elsa Ojalehto Karolinska Institutet bit.ly/3KAEn71

The implications of defining #obesity as a disease: a report from the ASO 2021 annual conference "the goal is common: to provide a healthcare system that supports and protects the patients...and policies that reduce stigma and promote health equity" bit.ly/40Z2QIL

Brilliant to see this eClinicalMedicine – The Lancet Discovery Science paper from Ida Karlsson Elsa Ojalehto & co published - we need to look beyond BMI and consider the heterogeneity of obesity! Read the open-access paper here: bit.ly/3zP22uo

Thrilled to have written a piece on our latest paper in The The Conversation together with Elsa Ojalehto. #Obesity is a heterogeneous and complex phenotype - it's not just #BMI
