The association of air pollution with bone mineral density (BMD) has attracted increasing attention. However, establishing a causal relationship remains uncertain.
We conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) study employing PM, PM, PM, nitrogen dioxide, and nitrogen oxides as exposures and BMD as the outcome to explore the causality between air pollution and the occurrence of decreased BMD.
By employing the IVW method, we identified a negative causality between air pollution (PM, PM, and nitrogen oxides) and BMD.
Our findings demonstrate that PM, PM and nitrogen oxides exposure may contribute to decreased BMD.
空气污染与骨密度(BMD)之间的关联已引起越来越多的关注。然而,确定因果关系仍不确定。
我们进行了一项孟德尔随机化(MR)研究,将细颗粒物(PM)、可吸入颗粒物(PM)、粗颗粒物(PM)、二氧化氮和氮氧化物作为暴露因素,骨密度作为结果,以探讨空气污染与骨密度降低发生之间的因果关系。
通过采用逆方差加权(IVW)方法,我们确定了空气污染(细颗粒物、可吸入颗粒物和氮氧化物)与骨密度之间存在负向因果关系。
我们的研究结果表明,接触细颗粒物、可吸入颗粒物和氮氧化物可能导致骨密度降低。
