Popis: Introduction Serum calcium (SCa) and adiposity are associated with kidney stone disease (KSD). We used conventional and genetic epidemiological approaches to further understanding of these relationships. Methods Waist-hip ratio (WHR), a marker of central adiposity, SCa and KSD data were analysed by adjusted linear regression using UK Biobank participants. Univariable, multivariable and mediation Mendelian randomisation (MR) were undertaken using 316 and 246 genetic instruments for WHR and SCa, respectively. Results Observational analyses of 3,466 KSD cases and 489,944 controls showed that participants of normal BMI (20–25kg/m2) but in the fifth quintile for WHR have greater risk of incident KSD compared to the first quintile (HR=1.39 (95%CI=1.18–1.63)). After adjustment for sex, age, serum vitamin D, and phosphate, higher WHR was positively associated with SCa (ß=0.04, 95%=CI 0.04–0.05, P Conclusion Central adiposity is causally linked to KSD, partly by raising SCa. Mechanisms by which central adiposity increases KSD risk, independent of and via SCa, remain to be revealed and may identify novel therapeutic methods for KSD. Take-home message Central adiposity and serum calcium are independent, causal risk factors for kidney stone disease. One mechanism by which central obesity increases risk of kidney stone disease is by influencing serum calcium concentrations.
