Taller height as a risk factor for venous thromboembolism: a Mendelian randomization meta‐analysis

Essentials Observational data suggest taller people have a higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). We used Mendelian randomization techniques to further explore this association in three studies. Risk of VTE increased by 30–40% for each 10 cm increment in height. Height was more strongly associ...
