To explore the causal relationship between left and right handgrip strength and the onset of cognitive decline, providing a reference for developing strategies to prevent cognitive decline in the elderly.
Genome-wide data for left and right handgrip strength were obtained from the UK Biobank, while genome-wide data for cognitive function were sourced from a meta-analysis conducted by the Cognitive Genomics Consortium. The study employed three regression models: Inverse-Variance Weighted (IVW), MR-Egger regression, and Weighted Median, to conduct Mendelian randomization analyses on the causal relationship between left and right handgrip strength and cognitive function.
The IVW model results demonstrated a positive causal relationship between right handgrip strength (β=0.08, 95% CI: 0.03-0.14, P=0.004), left handgrip strength (β=0.08, 95% CI: 0.01-0.14, P=0.017), and cognitive function.
The findings of this study support a positive causal relationship between left-hand grip strength, right-hand grip strength, and cognitive function.
