Insulin-like Growth Factor-1, Bone Mineral Density, and Fracture: A Mendelian Randomization Study
19 Jan 2021
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: The associations of circulating insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels with bone mineral density and fracture risk are inconclusive in observational studies. OBJECTIVE: We conducted a mendelian randomization study to assess the associations of serum IGF-1 levels with estimated bone mineral density (eBMD) and fracture. METHODS: Genetic instruments for IGF-1 were selected at the genome-wide...
