Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Hypertension and sarcopenia are major global public health problems among the aging society. This study aims to explore the causal associations and mediating effects of insulin resistance (IR) between hypertension and sarcopenia. METHODS: A bidirectional two-step Mendelian randomization (MR) was applied to determine the causal mediating role of IR in the pathway between hypertension and four sarcopenia...
