Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Some epidemiological studies and animal studies have reported a relationship between leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and bone mineral density (BMD). However, the causality underlying the purported relationship has not been determined. Here we performed a two-sample MR analysis to test the causal link between telomere length and BMD. RESULTS: Our research suggested no causal link of LTL and BMD using IVW...
