Mediating Factors in the Association of Maternal Educational Level With Pregnancy Outcomes
Importance Lower educational attainment is associated with increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, but it is unclear which pathways mediate this association. Objective To investigate the association between educational attainment and pregnancy outcomes and the proportion of this association th...

Importance Lower educational attainment is associated with increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, but it is unclear which pathways mediate this association. Objective To investigate the association between educational attainment and pregnancy outcomes and the proportion of this association that is mediated through modifiable cardiometabolic risk factors. Design, Setting, and Participants In this 2-sample mendelian randomization (MR) cohort study, uncorrelated ( R 2 < 0.01) single-nucleotide variants (formerly single-nucleotide polymorphisms) associated with the exposure ( P < 5 × 10 −8 ) and mediators and genetic associations with the pregnancy outcomes from genome-wide association studies were extracted. All participants were of European ancestry and were largely from Finland, Iceland, the United Kingdom, or the US. The inverse variance–weighted method was used in the main analysis, and the weighted median, weighted mode, and MR Egger regression were used in sensitivity analyses. In mediation analyses, the direct effect of educational attainment estimated in multivariable MR was compared with the total effect estimated in the main univariable MR analysis.
