Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Observational studies have reported a negative association between educational attainment and type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the causality remains largely unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential causal effect of educational attainment on T2D and whether such an effect is independent of cognitive performance. METHODS: We conducted two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using...
