Associations of genetically predicted circulating minerals with risk of MetS and its components using the inverse-variance weighted Mendelian randomization method. Estimated ORs represent the effect per unit increase in ln-transformed copper, 1 sd iron, zinc, selenium, magnesium, phosphorus, and folate on MetS traits. The blue circles represent the OR and horizontal lines represent the 95% CI of the OR. P values below the Bonferroni-corrected threshold of 4.63 × 10–4 are displayed in bold and suggestive P values between 0.05 and 4.63 × 10–4 are displayed in bold-italic. OR indicates odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; MetS: metabolic syndrome; WC: waist circumference; HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; FBG: fasting blood glucose; TG: triglycerides
