Abstract

The association between obesity and musculoskeletal chronic pain has attracted much attention these days; however, the causal relationship between them is uncertain. Hence, this study performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal effects of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) on knee pain, hip pain, and back pain.
