Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis are common in chronic liver diseases. However, the causal effect of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) on BMD remains uncertain. OBJECTIVES: This study uses a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) design to evaluate the genetically predicted effect of ALD and NAFLD on BMDs using summary data from publically...
