Observational (phenotype) and genetic PRS251 associations of height with 63 health-related outcomes. Beta value and 95% confidence interval (CI) per standard deviation (SD) increase in height are shown for A anthropometric trait 1 (hip circumference, waist circumference, and body weight), B anthropometric trait 2 (body fat, waist-hip ratio, and body mass index), and C blood pressure, blood lipid level, and blood glucose level (including systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), fasting glucose, and HbA1c). Odds ratio and 95% CI per SD increase in height are shown for D orthopedic or joint disorders (osteoporosis, arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and gout), E lung and respiratory diseases (asthma and emphysema or chronic bronchitis), F cardiovascular diseases (valvular heart disease, coronary artery disease, heart arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart defect, other type of heart disease, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and stroke), G diabetes (type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes), H mental or emotional disorders (depression, bipolar disorder, postpartum depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, alcohol addiction or drug abuse, and schizophrenia), I digestive diseases (peptic ulcer disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and irritable bowel syndrome), J nervous system disorders (epilepsy, migraine, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disorder, and dementia), K other types of disease (gallstones, kidney stones, kidney failure, and vertigo), L eye diseases (cataract, glaucoma, dry eye syndrome, retinal detachment, floaters, blindness, color blindness, and others), and M female diseases (severe menstrual cramps, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, and Uterine/cervical polyps)
