These studies typically assume that genetic associations are constant across different ages. Some traits, however, may have age-varying genetic associations. This has implications for the interpretation of genetic effects derived in downstream applications, such as Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses. In this study we conducted a series of age-stratified GWAS on individuals aged 40\u201369 years in the UK Biobank, for body-mass index (BMI) and three blood pressure traits (systolic, diastolic and pulsatile pressure (PP)) in 2-year age strata (N up to 26,330). We used a meta-regression approach to systematically identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with evidence for age interaction effects among trait-associated GWAS signals and additional loci genome-wide. Within an MR framework, we examine the relationship between BMI and blood pressure traits on cardiovascular and cardiometabolic outcomes (type-2 diabetes (T2D), stroke, peripheral artery disease (PAD), heart failure, coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation). Next, we describe the effect of the SNP*Age interaction on those relationships in a modified inverse-variance weighted (\n                    <jats:italic>ivw<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) analysis. We identified differential enrichment of age-interaction effects, which was trait dependent. For example, 10.3% of BMI discovery SNPs had evidence for an age-interaction in our data compared to 44.7% for PP (at P\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Our downstream MR and modified\n                    <jats:italic>ivw<\/jats:italic>\n                    analyses highlight the influence of age on the genetically predicted relationship between PP and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. For example, our results indicated that an increased rate of change in genetically predicted PP across the age period is associated with higher susceptibility to PAD (interaction odds ratio\u2009=\u20092.71; P\u2009=\u20091.82x10\n                    <jats:sup>-13<\/jats:sup>\n                    ; 95%-CI: 2.08-3.53). The data generated in this project provides a valuable resource for further exploration of mechanisms relevant to the genetic architecture of complex traits and all summary data has been made accessible to the research community.\n
