Education, intelligence and Alzheimer’s disease: Evidence from a multivariable two-sample Mendelian randomization study

2018-08-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objectives</h4> To examine whether educational attainment and intelligence have causal effects on risk of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), independently of each other. <h4>Design</h4> Two-sample univariable and multivariable Mendelian Randomization (MR) to estimate the causal effects of education on intelligence and vice versa, and the total and independent causal effects of both education and intelligence on risk...
