Causal associations between Sarcopenia-related traits and obstructive sleep apnea: a mendelian randomization study
This comprehensive MR analysis provides evidence of a significant causal relationship between characteristics associated with sarcopenia, including low hand grip strength, muscle mass, fat mass, and physical performance, and the risk of OSA. These findings underscore the importance of addressing sarcopenia-related factors in the management and prevention of OSA.
