Depression Promotes Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: New Evidence Based on Mendelian Randomization.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Although observational studies have reported that depression is a risk factor for gastroesophageal reflux disease, it is difficult to determine the potential causal correlation. Thus, this study investigated the causal relevance of depression for gastroesophageal reflux disease using Mendelian randomization and provided new evidence for their association. METHODS: Based on data from the UK Biobank, we...
