Extended Data Fig. 3: Odds ratio per standard deviation (SD) increase of PGSLC for prevalent obesity categories.
From: Polygenic prediction of body mass index and obesity through the life course and across ancestries
All PGS were standardised using the mean and SD of the PGS of individuals who did not have the outcome of interest (that is, those with a BMI value below the threshold for a given obesity category), to account for differences in prevalence across validation populations.
