Abstract excerpt
Researchers have posited that increased consumption of tea and coffee may be associated with more favorable treatment outcomes in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, there is no clear evidence regarding the causal associations. To delve deeper into this potential connection, scientists used a rigorous method known as Mendelian randomization (MR). This technique was used to explore the...
