Aims To use M endelian randomization to assess whether alcohol intake was causally
associated with cognitive function. Design M endelian randomization using a genetic variant …

Observational studies usually show that moderate alcohol use is associated with better
cognitive function. Such studies are vulnerable to residual confounding arising from …

Studies of the effect of alcohol consumption on cognitive ability are often confounded. One
approach to avoid confounding is the Mendelian randomization design. Here, we used such …

Alcohol dependence is frequently co‐morbid with cognitive impairment. The relationship
between these traits is complex as cognitive dysfunction may arise as a consequence of …

Abstract Background and Aims There have been few longitudinal studies of association
between alcohol use and cognitive functioning in young people. We aimed to examine …

Alcohol metabolizing enzymes, such as the alcohol dehydrogenases and the aldehyde
dehydrogenases, regulate the levels of acetaldehyde in the blood and play an important role …

Observational studies suggest that lower educational attainment (EA) may be associated
with risky alcohol use behaviors; however, these findings may be biased by confounding …

BackgroundAlcohol consumption is influenced by genetic factors. Previous studies have
examined the heritability of alcohol consumption, or related phenotypes, from adolescence …

Background. Frequency and quantity of alcohol consumption are metrics commonly used to
measure alcohol consumption behaviors. Epidemiological studies indicate that these …

BACKGROUND: Previous research has reported a significant genetic correlation between
heaviness of alcohol consumption and alcohol dependence (AD), but this association might …
