Abstract excerpt
Observational studies have suggested that sleep and circadian disturbances are potentially modifiable risk factors for low bone mineral density (BMD), but the causal relationship is unclear. This study aimed to (i) replicate the findings by examining observational association of sleep traits with low estimated BMD); (ii) examine whether these associations were causal by using Mendelian randomization (MR)...
