Objective A two-sample Mendelian randomization method was used to explore whether there is a causal relationship between the intake of alcohol,coffee,green tea and dairy products and the incidence of prostate cancer(PCa),in order to clarify the risk factors for the incidence of PCa and find a prevention pathway for PCa.Methods Data of alcohol,coffee,green tea,dairy products and prostate cancer were collected with genome-wide association study(GWAS).The causal relationship between their intake and the risk of PCa was analyzed with two-sample Mendelian randomization(2SMR).MR analysis was conducted with inverse-variance weighting(IVW).Sensitivity analysis was performed with weighted median,MR-Egger regression,Mendelian randomization pleiotropy residual sum and outlier(MR-PRESSO)tests.Results Coffee intake(OR:0.994,95%CI:0.990-0.999,P=0.014)and green tea intake(OR:0.999,95%CI:0.998-0.999,P=0.036)were negatively correlated with the risk of PCa.Alcohol intake(OR:0.997,95%CI:0.990-1.004,P=0.392)and dairy intake(OR:1.025,95%CI:0.983-1.069,P=0.256)were not associated with the risk of PCa.In weighted median,MR-Egger regression,and retention one method analyses,the results were robust without heterogeneity or pleiotropy.Conclusion There was a causal association between coffee intake and green tea intake and the onset of PCa,but no causal association between alcohol intake and dairy intake and PCa onset.
