Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The association of water loading with several infections remains unclear. Observational studies are hard to investigate definitively due to potential confounders. In this study, we employed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to assess the association between genetically predicted whole body water mass (BWM) and several infections. METHODS: BWM levels were predicted among 331,315...
