INTRODUCTION: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a prevalent digestive disorder, yet the causal roles of modifiable risk factors remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the causal relationships between 28 modifiable risk factors (including obesity traits, mental health disorders, sleep traits, metabolic comorbidities, and serum parameters) and GERD using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR)....
