Abstract Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in old age, recognized as a global health priority. The number patients projected to reach 152 million worldwide by mid-century. AD can damage thought, memory, and independence, increasing risk dependence, disability, mortality. aim present study explore precise causality from fruit intake on AD. Methods To causal effect fresh dried liability AD, this utilized genome-wide association (GWAS) developed MRC-IEU for full UK Biobank GWAS FinnGen round 8 conduct Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. instrumental variables (IVs) each were selected based InSIDE hypothesis exposure-outcome datasets harmonized. used inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR‒Egger, median (WM) approaches MR estimates, scatter plots, funnel leave-one-out plots generated statistical inspection stability results. Results analyses conducted investigate effects using targeted datasets. Little evidence suggested potential relationship between (OR (95%CI) = 0.97 (0.50, 1.91), P-value 0.939), while significant intensive was indicated 4.09 (2.07, 8.10), < 0.001). Stability evaluations showed no heterogeneity pleiotropy affecting interpretability credibility primary analyses. Conclusions We strengthened supporting positive Alzheimer’s disease, failed be demonstrated. Further validation focusing underlying molecular mechanisms expansility ethnicity could strengthen reliability diet intervention throughout prevention
