class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 3. Mendelian randomization analysis: correlation between cognitive performance and site-specific fractures. This scatter plot depicts the genetic correlations between cognitive performance and fractures in the ribs-sternum-thoracic spine (A) and lumbar spine pelvis (B). Different Mendelian Randomization methods were used in the analysis. The slope of each line in the plot indicates the estimated causal effects inferred using each method.
