However, additional investigation is required to establish the causal relationship between them. Hence, we assessed the reciprocal causality between four psychological disorders and UFs utilizing two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>To evaluate the causal relationship between four types of psychological distress (depressive symptoms, severe depression, anxiety or panic attacks, mood swings) and UFs, bidirectional two-sample MR was employed, utilizing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with these conditions. Both univariate MR (UVMR) and multivariate MR (MVMR) primarily applied inverse variance weighted (IVW) as the method for estimating potential causal effects. Complementary approaches such as MR Egger, weighted median, simple mode, and weighted mode were utilized to validate the findings. To assess the robustness of our MR results, we conducted sensitivity analyses using Cochran\u2019s Q-test and the MR Egger intercept test.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results of our UVMR analysis suggest that genetic predispositions to depressive symptoms (Odds Ratio [OR]\u2009=\u20091.563, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]\u2009=\u20091.209\u20132.021,<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001) and major depressive disorder (MDD) (OR\u2009=\u20091.176, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.044\u20131.324,<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.007) are associated with an increased risk of UFs.

However, our analysis did not establish a causal relationship between UFs and the four types of psychological distress. Even after adjusting for confounders like body mass index (BMI), smoking, alcohol consumption, and number of live births in the MVMR, the causal link between MDD and UFs remained significant (OR\u2009=\u20091.217, 95% CI\u2009=\u20091.039\u20131.425,<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.015).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our study presents evidence supporting the causal relationship between genetic susceptibility to MDD and the incidence of UFs.
