Abstract excerpt
Spinal stenosis is a prevalent degenerative spinal disease and one of the main causes of pain and dysfunction in older adults. Substantial evidence indicates a potentially relevant association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and spinal stenosis. However, the causality between these 2 disorders remains unclear. Therefore, we intended to elucidate this relationship using Mendelian Randomization (MR)...
