Abstract:ObjectiveUnderstanding the genetic underpinnings of anthropometric traits in diverse populations is crucial for gaining insights into their biological mechanisms and potential implications for health.MethodsWe conducted a genome‐wide association study, meta‐analysis, and gene set analysis of waist‐hip ratio (WHR), WHR adjusted for BMI (WHRadjBMI), waist circumference, BMI, and height using the African Collaborative Center for Microbiome and Genomics Research (ACCME) cohort (n = ~11,000) for discovery and polyg… Show more
