Adiposity, smoking, and lower socioeconomic position (SEP) increase COVID‐19 risk while the association of vitamin D, blood pressure, and glycemic traits in COVID‐19 risk were less clear. Whether angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), the key receptor for SARS‐CoV‐2, mediates these associations has not been investigated. We conducted a Mendelian randomization study to assess the role of these exposures in COVID‐19 and mediation by ACE2.
