Popis: BackgroundPast studies have demonstrated that diabetic neuropathy is related to sarcopenia, but the further causal relation is still unclear. We sought to investigate the causal relationship by combining data from cross-sectional and Mendelian randomization (MR) studies.MethodsThe genome-wide association studies data were collected from the UK Biobank and the European Working Group on Sarcopenia to conduct a bi-directional two-sample MR study to explore the causality between diabetic neuropathy and relevant clinical traits of sarcopenia, including appendicular lean mass (ALM), walking speed and low hand grip strength. The inverse-variance weighted and various sensitivity analyses were used to obtain MR estimates. We also enrolled a total of 196 Type 2 diabetes patients from April 2021 to April 2024 and divided them into the Distal peripheral neuropathy (DPN) group (n=51) and non-DPN group (n=145) via vibration perception threshold (VPT) and neuropathy deficit score. Logistic regression and ROC curve analysis were used to investigate the relationship between DPN and relevant sarcopenia clinical features.ResultsAccording to a forward MR analysis, decreased walking speed (OR: 0.04, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.01-0.16; P
