Abstract excerpt
BackgroundSarcopenia and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are prevalent comorbidities in older adults. Their common genetic basis remains unclear.ObjectiveUtilizing Genomic Structural Equation Modeling, we used European-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics to model sarcopenia-related traits. Multiple AD GWAS datasets and the sarcopenia GWAS dataset were used to conduct cross-trait...
