Unveiling the influence of daily dietary patterns on brain cortical structure: insights from bidirectional Mendelian randomization

Abstract

Cognitive impairment is a significant concern in aging populations.

The protective role of water intake in age-related eye diseases: insights from a Mendelian randomization study

“…9 MR can offer new insights and robust support regarding the causal relationship between variables. For instance, previous studies have identified the causal effects of dietary habits on multiple diseases such as Barrett's esophagus, 10 cognitive impairment, 11 and pancreatitis. 12,13 This study used MR to evaluate the causal relationship between water intake and AREDs (ARCs, AMD, DR, and glaucoma) based on the largest publicly available genome-wide association study (GWAS).…”

Genetic correlation and Mendelian randomization analyses support causal relationships between dietary habits and age at menarche

“…A recent GWAS study of dietary habits based on the UK Biobank identified genetic associations between hundreds of dietary habits, providing the potential to study the causal relationship between dietary habits and disease risk 17 . Dietary habits have been widely used to assess causal relationships with diseases or traits, such as migraines 18 , osteoporosis 19 , and cerebral cortex structure 20 .…”
