1 kg/m² lower BMI via the GIP/GIPR score is associated with 29% lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
Targeting GIP receptor pathways may significantly reduce cardiovascular event risk.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
In one-sample MR analyses, 1 kg/m² lower BMI via the GIP/GIPR score was associated with 29% lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (P = .0002).
Why this rating
Based on large sample size and Mendelian randomization analysis.
