Investigating Causal Associations between the Gut Microbiota and Dementia: A Mendelian Randomization Study

Abstract excerpt

We aimed to access the causal relationships in which one or more gut microbiota account for dementia. Method: Using data from the MiBioGen and FinnGen consortia, we employed multiple Mendelian randomization (MR) approaches including two-sample MR (TSMR), multivariable MR (MVMR), and Bayesian model...
