Lipid metabolism-associated metabolites on cardiovascular diseases: a two-sample Mendelian randomized study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundThere is a growing body of evidence indicating that metabolites are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the underlying causality of these associations remains largely unchallenged. After Bonferroni correction, causal associations were found to be significant with p-values less than 0.05.
