Investigation of the Association between Air Pollution and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in the European Population: A Mendelian Randomization Study by Yang, Jing, Zhang, Yaqi, Yuan, Yin, Xie, Zhongyang, Li, Lanjuan

“…In the derivation set, causal relationships between PM2.5, NO2, and NAFLD were observed in univariable Mendelian randomization (UVMR) (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.99, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) = [1.22–3.22], p = 0.005; OR = 2.08, 95% CI = [1.27–3.40], p = 0.004, respectively). After adjustment for air pollutants or alcohol intake frequency in multivariable Mendelian randomization (MVMR), the above genetic correlations disappeared. …”
