Effects of insomnia and non-vasomotor menopausal symptoms on coronary heart disease risk: a mendelian randomization study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous studies suggested that vasomotor symptoms were associated with an increasing risk of coronary heart diseases (CHD) but not clear with menopausal symptoms other than vasomotor symptoms.
