Causal association between sarcopenia and cognitive impairment contributes to the muscle–brain axis: A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study

There is a growing body of evidence suggesting a correlation between sarcopenia (SP) and cognitive impairment (CI), but with conflict. This study employed a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to ascertain the causality between SP and CI.
