Blood lipids and prostate cancer: a Mendelian randomization analysis
Genetic risk scores were used as unconfounded instruments for specific lipid traits (Mendelian randomization) to assess whether circulating lipids causally influence prostate cancer risk. Data from 22,249 prostate cancer cases and 22,133 controls from 22 studies within the international PRACTICAL consortium were analyzed. Allele scores based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously ...
متن کاملThe correlation between H. pylori infection and COVID-19
SARS CoV-2 and H. pylori are pathogens associated with the most common viral and bacterial infections globally. The co-infection of pathogenic bacteria and SARS CoV-2 represented a true health challenge. The current study aimed to estimate the incidence of H. pylori in patients with COVID-19. For this purpose, 130 patients with RT-PCR confirmed SARS CoV-2 infection as well as 130 apparently he...
متن کاملAssessing Causality in the Association between Child Adiposity and Physical Activity Levels: A Mendelian Randomization Analysis
BACKGROUND Cross-sectional studies have shown that objectively measured physical activity is associated with childhood adiposity, and a strong inverse dose-response association with body mass index (BMI) has been found. However, few studies have explored the extent to which this association reflects reverse causation. We aimed to determine whether childhood adiposity causally influences levels ...
متن کاملEvidence of a Causal Association Between Insulinemia and Endometrial Cancer: A Mendelian Randomization Analysis
BACKGROUND Insulinemia and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been associated with endometrial cancer risk in numerous observational studies. However, the causality of these associations is uncertain. Here we use a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to assess whether insulinemia and T2D are causally associated with endometrial cancer. METHODS We used single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associat...
متن کاملMendelian Randomization Causal Analysis Adiposity as a cause of cardiovascular disease: a Mendelian randomization study
Background: Adiposity, as indicated by body mass index (BMI), has been associated with risk of cardiovascular diseases in epidemiological studies. We aimed to investigate if these associations are causal, using Mendelian randomization (MR) methods. Methods: The associations of BMI with cardiovascular outcomes [coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure and ischaemic stroke], and associations o...
