Metabolomic characterisation of adiposity across the life course

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Project Background. There is evidence that adiposity, measured by body mass index (BMI), causally influences a range of health outcomes, but little understanding of the mechanisms driving BMI effects. Read more
