Abstract
Background and aims Preference for activity in the morning or evening (chronotype) may impact type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk factors. Our objective was to use Mendelian randomization (MR) to evaluate whether there are causal links between chronotype and one potential T2D risk factor, total fatty acids (TOTFA), and between TOTFA and T2D. Methods and results We estimated the causal effect of: 1) morning chronotype on TOTFA; and 2) higher TOTFA on T2D....
