Genetically predicted green tea intake and the risk of arterial embolism and thrombosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In previous observational studies, green tea intake has been demonstrated to protect against arterial embolism and thrombosis. However, whether there is a causative connection between green tea intake and arterial embolism and thrombosis is currently unclear.

Methods

A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study has been designed to explore whether there is a causal association between green tea intake and arterial embolism and thrombosis by acquiring exposure and outcome data from previously published research. Data from the MRC-IEU (data on green tea intake, 64,949 participants) consortium and the FinnGen project (data on arterial embolism and thrombosis, 278 cases of arterial thrombosis and 92,349 control participants) has been utilized to determine the causa
