<h4>Background</h4> Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a leading cause of disability and dependency in older adults. Frailty is a phenotypic risk factor for AD, but its causal role remains unclear – partly due to reliance on composite scores that may obscure distinct mechanisms. <h4>Methods</h4> We applied a Mendelian randomisation (MR) framework using two large GWAS of clinically diagnosed AD.
