Using multiple genetic variants as instrumental variables for modifiable risk factors

TL;DR: Under the correct conditions, multiple instrument analyses are a promising approach for Mendelian randomisation studies, and further research is required into multiple imputation methods to address missing data issues in IV estimation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association Between Bone Mass and Fractures in Children: A Prospective Cohort Study

TL;DR: This is the first prospective cohort study of the association between bone mass and fracture risk in childhood and results showed an 89% increased risk of fracture per SD decrease in size‐adjusted BMC.
Journal ArticleDOI

WNT16 Influences Bone Mineral Density, Cortical Bone Thickness, Bone Strength, and Osteoporotic Fracture Risk

Hou-Feng Zheng, +61 more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify genetic variants associated with cortical bone thickness (CBT) and bone mineral density (BMD) by performing two separate genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analyses for CBT in 3 cohorts comprising 5,878 European subjects and for BMD in 5 cohorts consisting 5,672 individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intervertebral disc degeneration can lead to "stress-shielding" of the anterior vertebral body: a cause of osteoporotic vertebral fracture?

TL;DR: Severe disc degeneration causes the anterior vertebral body to be stress-shielded during the usual erect posture, and yet severely loaded whenever the spine is flexed, which could help to explain why this region is frequently the site of osteoporotic fracture, and why forward bending movements often precipitate the injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Habitual levels of physical activity influence bone mass in 11-year-old children from the United Kingdom: Findings from a large population-based cohort

TL;DR: Physical activity was positively related to both BMD and bone size in fully adjusted models, however, further exploration revealed that this effect on bone size was modified by fat mass.
