Background Fat mass and lean mass are two biggest components of body mass. Both fat
mass and lean mass are under strong genetic determinants and are correlated. Methods We …

Background Lean body mass (LM) plays an important role in mobility and metabolic
function. We previously identified five loci associated with LM adjusted for fat mass in …

Overweight and obese are risk factors for various diseases. In Taiwan, the combined
prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased dramatically. Here, we conducted a …

To identify genetic loci influencing central obesity and fat distribution, we performed a meta-
analysis of 16 genome-wide association studies (GWAS, N= 38,580) informative for adult …

Lean body mass, consisting mostly of skeletal muscle, is important for healthy aging. We
performed a genome-wide association study for whole body (20 cohorts of European …

In the version of this article initially published, there were errors in Table 1. Specifically, for
eight SNPs, the effect allele frequencies were reversed. The correct effect allele frequencies …

Lean body mass (LBM) is a complex trait for human health. To identify genomic loci
underlying LBM, we performed a gene-based genome-wide association study of lean mass …

Obesity is a major public health problem with strong genetic determination. Multiple genetic
variants have been implicated for obesity by conducting genome-wide association (GWA) …
