a MR estimates derived from the IVW method to assess the causal effect of fatty acids traits on T2DM after adjusting for birth weight. b MR estimates derived from the IVW method to assess the causal effect of fatty acids traits on fasting glucose, fasting insulin and two-hour glucose after adjusting for birth weight. BW, birth weight; CI, confidence interval; LA/TFA ratio, ratio of linoleic acid to total fatty acids; MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acid levels; MUFA/TFA ratio, ratio of monounsaturated fatty acids to total fatty acids; Omega-6/TFA ratio, ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to total fatty acids; OR, odds ratio; PUFA/MUFA ratio, ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids to monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA/TFA ratio, ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids to total fatty acids; SFA, saturated fatty acid levels; TFA, total fatty acid levels
