According to the grading of evidence credibility, 12 were rated as suggestive associations, and 10 as weak associations. The overall credibility of the evidence is relatively low. The 36 MR studies investigated a total of 124 associations, with evidence grading showed 13 as robust, 90 as possible, 17 as suggestive, and 4 as insufficient. The pooled analysis identified 108 associations covering lifestyle, diet and nutrition, anthropometric indices, biomarkers, and clinical variables. The quality level of the included meta-analyses was low and critically low, while the MR studies strictly adhered to STROBE-MR, demonstrating good reporting quality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This umbrella review uncovers the evidence regarding the associations between IPF risk and factors such as genetics, viral infections, occupational and environmental exposures, lifestyle, and clinical variables through a comprehensive analysis of meta-analyses and MR studies.
