Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and intervertebral disk degeneration (IVDD) using a two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis. Summary-level data from the Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) were used. Instrumental variables (IVs) for IVDD were selected from the large-scale Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) (20,001 cases and 164,682...
