Research topics from publications: The genetic correlation and causal association between key factors that influence vascular calcification and cardiovascular disease incidence. Representative work: Background Serum calcium (Ca), vitamin D (VD), and vitamin K (VK) levels are key determinants of vascular calcification, which itself impacts cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. The specific relationships between the levels of these different compounds and particular forms of CVD, however, remain to be fully defined. Objective This study was designed to explore the associations between these serum levels and CVDs with the goal of identifying natural interventions capable of controlling vascular calcification and thereby protecting against CVD pathogenesis, extending the healthy lifespan of at-risk individuals. Methods Linkage disequilibrium score (LDSC) regression and a two-sample Mendelian r
