Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The role of the basal metabolic rate (BMR) in osteoarthritis (OA) remains unclear, as previous retrospective studies have produced inconsistent results. Therefore, we performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to systematically investigate the causal relationship between the BMR and OA. METHODS: Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data related to BMR and OA were collected in a genome-wide...
