Abstract excerpt
Objective: There is a controversy in studies of circulating inflammatory proteins (CIPs) in association with osteoporosis (OP) and fractures, and it is unclear if these two conditions are causally related.

Methods: Genetic variants data for CIPs, OP, and fractures were obtained from the publicly...
