Advantages of the academic analysis:

  1. Use of a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as instrumental variables (IVs) for various lifestyle factors, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of their causal effects on the outcomes.
  2. Application of multiple methods, such as IVW, MR-Egger, weighted median, and leave-one-out analysis, to ensure robustness of the results.
  3. Examination of potential pleiotropy and heterogeneity in the analysis, providing insights into the validity and consistency of the causal estimates.
  4. Presentation of scatter plots and figures to visually depict the associations between genetic variants and outcomes, aiding in the interpretation of the results.

Disadvantages of the academic analysis:

  1. Lack of statistical significance for some of the associations observed, indicating weak or inconclusive evidence for the causal effects.
  2. Insufficient sample size or power to detect significant associations for certain lifestyle factors and outcomes.
  3. Reliance on genetic predictors and instrumental variable analysis, which assumes that the IVs are valid and satisfy the necessary assumptions, including no pleiotropy.
  4. Limited generalizability of the findings to populations other than the ones included in the study
Below is a paragraph from the MR analysis resultsPlease write down the advantages and disadvantages which is academicParagraph :This study identified 40 41 353023113 83 7 458 and 374 SNPs from the GWA
