The Causal Relationship Between Asthma and Hippocampal Volume: A Study Based on Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Analysis
Our study provides genetic evidence for a causal relationship between asthma and changes in hippocampal volume, highlighting the need for closer monitoring and intervention in the neurocognitive health of asthma patients in clinical practice. Future studies should explore the causal relationship between asthma and brain structural changes across different racial groups and asthma subtypes, as well as the underlying biological mechanisms.
