Causal relationship between physical activity and platelet traits: a Mendelian randomization study.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The purpose of this study was to discuss the causal relationship between physical activity and platelet traits. Methods: A dataset from a large-scale European physical activity and platelet traits was collected by using Mendelian randomization of the study. For the analysis, the inverse variance weighting method, weighted median and MR-Egger were used to estimate causal effects. The sensitivity analyses were also performed using Cochran's Q test, funnel plots and Leave-one-out analysis. Results: Light DIY, other exercises, strenuous sports, walking for pleasure were significantly associated with a decrease in platelet crit. But none of the heavy /light DIY was associated with increase in platelet crit. Other exercises and strenuous sports were associated
