Associations between sleep traits and colorectal cancer: a mendelian randomization analysis by Xiangyue Meng, Enshuo Fan, Dan Lv, Yongjing Yang, Shixin Liu

“…Additionally, we conducted sensitivity analyses to minimize possible biases and verify the consistency of our results.ResultsMendelian randomization analyses showed that an morning chronotype reduces the risk of CRC with the IVW method, hence, odds ratio (OR) of 1.21 and 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.67-0.93, which is statistically significant at P = 5.74E-03. Conversely, no significant evidence was found to suggest that sleep duration, insomnia, daytime napping, or daytime sleepiness have a direct causal impact on CRC risk according to the IVW analysis.ConclusionsFindings from our Mendelian randomization analyses suggest that an individual’s chronotype may contribute to an increased risk of CRC. …”
