In our latest study, height-increasing alleles at all 606 height-associated variants (Exome Chip data) were enriched for nominally significant protective effect on several cardiometabolic traits: total cholesterol (TC; P binomial = 4.4 × 10 −8 ), triglyceride (TG; P binomial = 8.9 × 10 −7 ) and coronary artery disease (CAD; P binomial = 6.0 × 10 −10 ).

Mendelian randomisation analyses find pulmonary factors mediate the effect of height on coronary artery disease.
