ABSTRACT
Previous observational studies have shown an association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and sarcopenia. However, the causal relationship between IBD (including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) and sarcopenia remains unclear. Thus, this study investigated whether genetically predicted IBD play a function in the occurrence of sarcopenia using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. This study used independent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with IBD as instrument variables (IVs). Sarcopenia-related components (hand grip strength, walking space, and appendicular lean mass (ALM)) were investigated as outcome factors, with summary-level data regarding these components of sarcopenia obtained from the UK Biobank. The IVW-MR analysis revealed that there were significant negative associations between IBD and hand grip strength (both left and right) as well as ALM. Besides, the results of IVW-MR analysis provided strong evidence of a causal relationship between genetically predicted Crohn's disease and hand grip strength and ALM. However, there were no significant associations found between ulcerative colitis and sarcopenia-related traits. Sensitivity tests confirmed the accuracy and robustness of the above MR analysis. Conclusions:
Our MR analysis showed the causal effect of Crohn's disease on hand grip strength and ALM. This suggests that Crohn's disease may be a potential risk factor for sarcopenia.Palabras clave
