Bone mineral density and risk of type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease: A Mendelian randomization study
2017-08-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Observational studies have demonstrated that increased bone mineral density is associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the relationship with risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) is less clear. Moreover, substantial uncertainty remains about the causal relevance of increased bone mineral density for T2D and CHD, which can be assessed by Mendelian randomisation studies. <h...
