Are you on the beach and you’ve just finished your book? 🏖️📚I have good news! 🤩.Our new article on adiposity and inflammatory biomarkers is out in @BMCMedicine 👇🏼.Specially thanks to @GonzalezGilEM for this great collab👩🏼🔬👩🏻🔬.
.@GonzalezGilEM @LPeruchet @MS_Yahya_ @HFreisling.and colleagues investigate the association between body shape phenotypes and inflammatory markers. Read the full study here:

This suggests distinct putative causal pathways between adiposity subtypes and colorectal cancer! 🤯 8/9.

We also found that the associations between the generally obese and the tall, centrally obese body shapes and colorectal cancer were driven by brain and adipose tissue-specific genetic instruments, respectively. 7/9.

And this is not the end! The generally obese body shape was associated with gene expression patterns in tissues with high proportion of neural cells, whereas the tall, centrally obese body shape was associated with gene expression patterns in mesenchymal cells.🧐 6/9

After a GWAS on these body shape phenotypes we identified thousands of genetic variants associated with them with nearly no genetic overlap suggesting different genetic architectures among body shapes. 😳 5/9.

Ok, but… Laia, can you tell us more about these body shape phenotypes? OF COURSE! 👇🏼🕵🏼♀️.4/9.

We found that a generally obese (PC1) and a tall, centrally obese (PC3) body shape were both positively associated with colorectal cancer in observational and Mendelian randomization analyses! #TriangulationIsKey 3/9

#ColorectalCancer is considered an obesity-related cancer but are adiposity subtypes differentially associated with it? We have used multi-trait body shape phenotypes based on BMI, height, weight, waist-to-hip ratio, and waist and hip circumferences to answer this question.🤓 2/9.
