Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The bidirectional correlation between low bone mineral density (BMD) and frailty, despite its extensive documentation, still lacks a conclusive understanding. The objective of this Mendelian randomization (MR) study is to investigate the bidirectional causal relationship between BMD and frailty. METHODS: We utilized summary statistics data for BMD at different skeletal sites-including heel BMD (e-BMD,...
