The causal relationship between blood cell traits and aging: a Mendelian randomization study

This MR study uncovered significant causal relationships between blood cell traits such as eosinophil counts, MCV, and lymphocyte counts, with aging indicators. Monitoring these traits in routine blood tests can provide valuable insights for assessing age-related health risks and promoting healthy aging.

Abstract

This MR study uncovered significant causal relationships between blood cell traits such as eosinophil counts, MCV, and lymphocyte counts, with aging indicators. Monitoring these traits in routine blood tests can provide valuable insights for assessing age-related health risks and promoting healthy aging.
