	abstract = {To examine the relationship between obesity and mortality as a function of polygenic risk for obesity among older US adults.Using data from the 1994-2014 Health and Retirement Study in conjunction with genome-wide data, we evaluated the risk of mortality as a function of obesity classification, an individual{\textquoteright}s polygenic risk score (PGS) for obesity, and their interaction, stratified by sex. We conducted our analyses using cox proportional hazard models.Among those with an average PGS for obesity (8,143 [68.8 \%]), obese I (HR = 0.7},
