Abstract excerpt
Osteosarcopenia-the concurrent presence of osteoporosis and sarcopenia-affects approximately 18.5% of older adults globally, yet its shared genetic basis remains poorly understood. We applied genomic structural equation modeling (Genomic SEM) to integrate genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics across five phenotypes spanning the pathophysiological spectrum of osteosarcopenia: appendicular lean...
