Specifically, elevated BMI during childhood is associated with a 31.9% risk for HF (Odds ratio [OR] = 1.319, 95% CI [1.160 to 1.499], <i>p</i> = 2.33 × 10<sup>−5</sup>), an 18.3% risk for AF (R = 1.183, 95% CI [1.088 to 1.287], <i>p</i> = 8.22 × 10<sup>−5</sup>), an 14.8% risk for CAD (OR = 1.148, 95% CI [1.028 to 1.283], <i>p</i> = 1.47 × 10<sup>−2</sup>), a 40.5% risk for PAD (OR = 1.405, 95% CI [1.233 to 1.600], <i>p</i> = 3.10 × 10<sup>−7</sup>) and 12.0% risk for MI (OR = 1.120, 95% CI [1.017 to 1.234], <i>p</i> = 2.18 × 10<sup>−2</sup>). Interestingly, the risk for deep venous thrombosis only increased by 0.5% (OR = 1.005, 95% CI [1.001 to 1.008], <i>p</i> = 2.13 × 10<sup>−3</sup>).</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Genetically inferred early-life BMI is significantly associated with six distinct CVDs.
