Education, intelligence, and 20 gastrointestinal disorders: A Mendelian randomization study.

ABSTRACT: Previous observational studies have suggested that higher levels of education attainment and intelligence (IQ) are associated with better health outcomes in humans. However, the causal link between education attainment and IQ and their association with health outcomes remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the distinct impacts of intelligence and educational attainment on gastrointestinal symptoms. From the genome-wide association between educational attainment and the IQ study database, results were obtained from the FinnGen summary database. We used univariate and multivariate Mendelian randomization (MR) techniques to explore the relationship between exposures and outcomes. To assess the validity of inverse-variance-weighted-based results, we used several supplementary analytic
