Protective Effects of Bone Mineral Density on Age-Related Macular Degeneration: A Mendelian Randomization Study - PubMed Our MR analysis supported the causal correlation between genetically predicted BMD and Wet-AMD. As to Dry-AMD, it was not causally related to BMD. Our study complemented the evidence from previous observational...

New genetic evidence links higher bone mineral density to a lower risk of wet age-related macular degeneration, reframing AMD as a systemic ageing disease, not just an eye disorder.
