Abstract excerpt
Previous observational studies have identified various risk factors associated with the development of osteoporosis, including sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). The aim of this study was to determine the potential causal effects of circulating SHBG concentrations on bone mineral density (BMD). Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach was applied in analyses. From summary-level data of genome-wide...
