Core Tip	In this study, we investigated the independent causal effects of education, cognition, and intelligence on cholelithiasis and cholecystitis. Subsequently, we estimated the independent association between each exposure to cholecystitis, after adjustment for cholelithiasis. Finally, the ultimate aims were to screen out the mediator(s) and clarify the mediating effects of several correlated risk factors in the pathogenesis of cholelithiasis to instrument clinical practice.
