Triangulating Associations Between Fruit Intake and Lung Cancer Risk: Evidence from GBD Estimates, Mendelian Randomization, and Real-World Validation.
Puntos clave
This study aims to explore the relationship between fruit intake and lung cancer risk using multiple approaches.
Analyzed population-level data from Global Burden of Disease estimates
Utilized mendelian randomization to assess genetic associations
Conducted clinical validations of findings
Insufficient fruit intake is consistently linked to increased lung cancer risk
Findings are supported across different data sources
Strength of association indicates a potential modifiable risk factor
Resumen
This multi-method study strengthens evidence that insufficient fruit intake may increase lung cancer risk, with consistent findings across population-level, genetic, and clinical data.
