Abstract excerpt
Given the epidemiological evidence suggesting an association between sodium intake and various gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, this study aimed to investigate the causal effect of genetically predicted urinary sodium-to-creatinine ratio (UNaUCr), a proxy for sodium intake, on GI diseases. Employing a Mendelian Randomization (MR) approach, genetic variants closely associated with UNaUCr were identified by...
