    IntroductionThe association of air pollution with bone mineral density (BMD) has attracted increasing attention. However, establishing a causal relationship remains uncertain.MethodsWe conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) study employing PM2.5, PM2.5-10, PM10, 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.ResultsBy employing the IVW method, we identified a negative causality between air pollution (PM2.5, PM10, and nitrogen oxides) and BMD.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate that PM2.5, PM10 and nitrogen oxides exposure may contribute to decreased BMD.Copyright: © 2024 Termedia & Banach.
