Modifiable lifestyle factors influencing neurological and psychiatric disorders mediated by structural brain reserve: An observational and Mendelian randomization study.
Background: Modifiable lifestyle factors are implicated as risk factors for neurological and psychiatric disorders, but whether these associations are causal remains uncertain. We aimed to evaluate associations and ascertain causal relationships between modifiable lifestyle factors, neurological and psychiatric disorder risk, and brain structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers.
Methods: We analyzed data from over 50,000 UK Biobank participants with self-reported lifestyle factors, including alcohol consumption, smoking, physical activity, diet, sleep, electronic device use, and sexual factors. Primary outcomes were stroke, all-cause dementia, Parkinson's disease (PD), Major depression disorder (MDD), Anxiety Disorders (ANX), and Bipolar Disorder (BIP), alongside MRI markers. Summary statistics were obtained from genome-wide association studies and Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses investigated bidirectional associations between lifestyle factors, neurological/psychiatric disorders, and MRI markers, with mediation assessed using multivariable Mendelian randomization (MVMR).
Results: Cross-sectional analyses identified lifestyle factors were associated with neurological and psychiatric disorders and brain morphology. MR confirmed causal relationships, including lifetime smoking index on Stroke, PD, MDD, ANX and BIP; play computer games on BIP; leisure screen time on Stroke and MDD; automobile speeding propensity on MDD; sexual factors on MDD and BIP; sleep characteristics on BIP and MDD. Brain structure mediated several lifestyle-disorder associations, such as daytime dozing and dementia, lifetime smoking and PD and age first had sexual intercourse and PD.
Conclusion: Our results provide support for a causal effect of multiple lifestyle measures on the risk of neurological and psychiatric disorders, with brain structural morphology serving as a potential biological mediator in their associations.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Affective Disorders publishes papers concerned with affective disorders in the widest sense: depression, mania, mood spectrum, emotions and personality, anxiety and stress. It is interdisciplinary and aims to bring together different approaches for a diverse readership. Top quality papers will be accepted dealing with any aspect of affective disorders, including neuroimaging, cognitive neurosciences, genetics, molecular biology, experimental and clinical neurosciences, pharmacology, neuroimmunoendocrinology, intervention and treatment trials.
