Role of metabolites in mediating the effect of lipidomes on osteoporosis: A Mendelian randomization study.

We investigated the causal relationships between the plasma lipidomes, osteoporosis (OP), and potential metabolite mediators using Mendelian randomization (MR). Using summary-level data from a genome-wide association study, bidirectional MR analyses to explore the causal relationships between the plasma lipidomes and OP, and two-step MR to discover potential mediating metabolites. Sensitivity analyses were performed to validate the robustness of the results further. After primary analysis and a...

Non-linear associations between parity and long-term risk of osteoporosis.

Summary Our findings suggest that although pregnancy and lactation are periods of physiological calcium loss, higher parity is not associated with an increased risk of postmenopausal osteoporosis; rather, it appears to confer a long-term protective effect. Purpose Osteoporosis is a significant public health burden. While parity induces transient bone loss, their long-term skeletal impact remains poorly understood. This study aimed to clarify the associations between parity, defined as the num...
