Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The directional relationship between epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) and musculoskeletal disease remains unresolved. This study integrated bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) with multi-layer genomic evidence to evaluate directionality, shared genetic architecture, and robustness to instrument definition. METHODS: Four EAA clocks (IEAA, PhenoAA, HannumAA, and GrimAA) and ten musculoskeletal...
