Background: Cholesterol-lowering medications, blood pressure medication, insulin, and exogenous hormones (including hormone replacement therapy, oral contraceptives, and minipills) are commonly utilized in clinical practice. Recent studies indicate that the use of these medications may significantly influence the occurrence and progression of cerebral infarction. This study aims to investigate the relationship between these medications and cerebral infarction using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, with the goal of offering valuable insights for the clinical management of cerebral infarction.

Methods: By using data from publicly available genome-wide association studies from databases, single nucleotide polymorphisms were screened as instrumental variables, and the MR analysis was finished by inverse-variance weighted (IVW), MR-egger, weighted median methods.
Results: The primary IVW method showed a negative association between genetically predicted PD and risk of MI (OR = 0.
