Our MR analyses indicated a causal effect between two circulating cytokines and BMD at corresponding sites (HGF and HE-BMD, MIP-1α and TB-BMD), along with suggestive evidence of a potential causality between seven cytokines and BMD at the corresponding sites. These findings would provide insights into the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, especially immunoporosis.
