Observational studies have suggested that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) decrease the risk of anorexia nervosa (AN). In the present study, we examined this hypothesis using a Mendelian randomization analysis.
We used summary statistics for single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with plasma levels of n-6 (linoleic acid and arachidonic acid) and n-3 PUFAs (alpha-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid) and the corresponding data for AN from a genome-wide association meta-analysis of 72,517 individuals (16,992 diagnosed AN cases and 55,525 controls).
None of the genetically predicted PUFAs were significantly associated with the risk of AN; odds ratios (95 % confidence interval) per 1 standard deviation increase in PUFA levels were 1.03 (0.98, 1.08) for linoleic acid, 0.99 (0.96, 1.03) for arachidonic acid, 1.03 (0.94, 1.12) for alpha-linolenic acid, 0.98 (0.90, 1.08) for eicosapentaenoic acid, 0.96 (0.91, 1.02) for docosapentaenoic acid, and 1.01 (0.90, 1.36) for docosahexaenoic acid.
Only two types of fatty acids (LA and DPA) can be used for pleiotropy tests using the MR-Egger intercept test.
This study does not support the hypothesis that PUFAs decrease the risk of AN.
观察性研究表明,多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)可降低神经性厌食症(AN)的风险。在本研究中,我们使用孟德尔随机化分析来检验这一假设。
我们使用了与血浆n-6(亚油酸和花生四烯酸)和n-3多不饱和脂肪酸(α-亚麻酸、二十碳五烯酸、二十二碳五烯酸和二十二碳六烯酸)水平相关的单核苷酸多态性的汇总统计数据,以及来自72517名个体(16992例确诊AN病例和55525例对照)的全基因组关联荟萃分析中AN的相应数据。
基因预测的多不饱和脂肪酸均与AN风险无显著关联;多不饱和脂肪酸水平每增加1个标准差的优势比(95%置信区间),亚油酸为1.03(0.98,1.08),花生四烯酸为0.99(0.96,1.03),α-亚麻酸为1.03(0.94,1.12),二十碳五烯酸为0.98(0.90,1.08),二十二碳五烯酸为0.96(0.91,1.02),二十二碳六烯酸为1.01(0.90,1.36)。
只有两种脂肪酸(亚油酸和二十二碳五烯酸)可用于使用MR-Egger截距检验的多效性检验。
本研究不支持多不饱和脂肪酸降低神经性厌食症风险这一假设。
