Background: The relationship between tea intake (TI) and sleep disorders (SDs) has been a topic of interest for some time, but there remains a lack of data showing a causal relationship. We aimed to use a two-sample Mendelian randomization study to determine whether there is a causal link between TI and SDs. Methods: We collected data regarding TI, with a focus on green tea intake (GTI), herbal tea intake (HTI), and rooibos tea intake (RTI); and data regarding SDs and insomnia from genome-wide association studies. We analyzed these data using an inverse variance-weighted two-sample Mendelian randomization study, by means of the TwoSampleMR package in R4.2.3 software. Results: We found no genetic causal relationships of TI, GTI, HTI, or RTI with insomnia. The odds ratios (ORs) for these relationships were as follows: TI: OR = 0.61, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.29–1.28; GTI: OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.95–1.14; HTI: OR = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.82–1.17; and RTI: OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 0.99–1.09. In addition, there were no genetic causal relationships of TI, GTI, HTI, or RTI with SDs. The OR values for these relationships were as follows: TI: OR = 0.6, 95% CI: 0.34–1.06; GTI: OR = 1, 95% CI: 0.93–1.07; HTI: OR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.66–1.2; and RTI: OR = 1.02, 95% CI: 0.98–1.06. Conclusion: We found no causal relationships of TI with SDs or insomnia, irrespective of the type of tea consumed. However, additional Mendelian randomization studies are required to further explore the relationships of the timing and quantity of tea consumption with SDs and insomnia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
