Abstract
Both positive and negative associations between higher body mass index (BMI) and Parkinson disease (PD) have been reported in observational studies, but it has been difficult to establish causality because of the possibility of residual confounding or reverse causation. To our knowledge, Mendelian randomisation (MR)—the use of genetic instrumental variables (IVs) to explore causal effects—has not previously been used to test the effect of BMI on PD.
