Abstract excerpt
The role of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on stroke has been explored only in many observational studies. We conducted Mendelian randomization (MR) to clarify whether or not the genetically predicted MetS and its components are causally associated with stroke and its subtypes. Genetic instruments of MetS and its components and outcome data sets for stroke and its subtypes came from the gene-wide association study in...
