Causal associations between dietary habits and liver cancer risk: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Liver cancer is among the most prevalent cancers worldwide and is the second leading cause of cancer-related death. Epidemiological evidence suggests a potential correlation between dietary habits and the incidence of liver cancer. However, establishing a definitive causal relationship remains uncertain. Mendelian randomization (MR) is frequently employed to investigate the causal link between exposure and results.

Aim

This research focuses primarily on exploring and confirming whether there is a causal connection between dietary choices and the risk of liver cancer.

Methods

Exposure data, encompassing various dietary habits such as the consumption of dried and fresh fruits, both cooked and raw vegetables, types of fish (oily and nonoily), and beverages suc
