Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Lower limb skeletal muscle mass is essential for maintaining physical function in older adults and serves as an early indicator of sarcopenia. This study aimed to characterize the polygenic architecture of low-lower limb skeletal muscle index (low-LSMI), identify underlying biological mechanisms, and develop a polygenic risk score (PRS). METHODS: A genome-wide association study was conducted using UK...
