Ascertaining the association between smoking behaviors and viral hepatitis risk: A Mendelian randomization approach
Our study presents strong associations between smoking behavior and an elevated risk of viral hepatitis, highlighting the need for further investigation into this potential connection. These findings underscore the importance of smoking cessation in liver disease management and inform public health strategies aimed at reducing the burden of viral hepatitis.
