Is There Causal Relationship of Smoking and Alcohol Consumption with Bone Mineral Density? A Mendelian Randomization Study.

Abstract：

:Observational studies examining associations of smoking and alcohol consumption with bone mineral density (BMD) have generated inconsistent results and suffer from several methodological limitations. We aim to evaluate whether there are causal associations between smoking, alcohol consumption, and BMD using a Mendelian randomization (MR) design. Genetic variants associated with smoking status (n = 142), no. of cigarettes smoked per day (CPD) (n = 3), smoking initiation (n = 1), and alcohol consumption (n = 6) identified in published genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were used as instruments. Summary statistics data of 32735, 28498, 8143, and 445921 European subjects included in The GEnetic Factors for Osteoporosis Consortium or UK Biobank were used to generate associations of genetically predicted smoking or alcohol consumption with femoral neck (FN-BMD), lumbar spine (LS-BMD), forearm (FA-BMD), and heel BMD, respectively, by using the inverse-variance weighted method. The BMD was measured using either ultrasound (for heel) or Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (for others). In our analyses, smoking status tended to be negatively associated with several types of BMD (heel BMD: β = - 0.053, p = 0.003; FN-BMD: β = - 0.139, p = 0.053; FA-BMD: β = - 0.264, p = 0.077), although the association with LS-BMD was null. Smoking initiation was significantly inversely associated with heel BMD (β = - 0.201, p = 3.60 × 10-8). CPD was associated with a lower FN-BMD (β = - 0.014, p = 0.047) only. There was no clear association of genetically predicted alcohol consumption with BMD. Our study provided some evidence of a potential association between genetically predicted smoking and lower BMD, especially for heel BMD, but not for alcohol consumption. Considering the inconsistent findings with the different types of BMD and limitations of the current work, further studies are needed to better characterize the exact relationship between smoking, alcohol consumption, and BMD.
