Abstract excerpt

Breastfeeding has been extensively documented to confer numerous health benefits. However, establishing causal relationships, particularly with respect to childhood mental and physical health, has been challenging due to confounding variables inherent in observational studies. This study leverages a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to rigorously investigate the causal impacts of breastfeeding on various...
