However, the exact causal relationship between tea consumption and the precursor stages of certain neurodegenerative diseases, namely REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), remains unclear. To evaluate the causal association between tea consumption and RBD, we employed a Mendelian randomization study.METHODSWe identified genetic instrumental variables that are significantly associated with tea consumption through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in European populations. Bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization was utilized to determine the causal relationship between tea consumption and RBD, while sensitivity analyses were further employed to evaluate the robustness of the results. The multivariate Mendelian randomization method was used to assess the influence of relevant confounding factors on the results.RESULTSIn the MR analysis using the inverse variance weighting method, a significant causal relationship between tea consumption and RBD was observed (OR=0.046, 95% CI 0.004-0.563, p=0.016). The consistency of findings across maximum likelihood, MR PRESSO, and multivariate MR after adjusting for potential confounding further supports this causal association.
