    The study investigates the interaction between mitochondrial DNA variants and lifestyle factors on heel bone mineral density (BMD).

  • 2

    Analysis included 119,120 participants from the UK Biobank, focusing on factors like smoking, drinking, and physical activity.

  • 3

    Four mitochondrial DNA loci were identified with suggestive evidence of association with heel BMD, including m.16356T>C.

  • 4

    Mitochondrial DNA variants interacted with lifestyle factors, notably physical activity and smoking, affecting heel BMD.

  • 5

    The findings suggest a complex relationship between mitochondrial function and lifestyle factors in osteoporosis pathogenesis.
