摘要:




文题释义:
孟德尔随机化:是一种利用遗传变异作为工具变量来估计暴露与结果之间因果关系的方法。它基于3个主要假设:遗传变异与暴露相关、遗传变异仅通过暴露影响结果、遗传变异与任何混杂因素不相关。这种方法可以减少传统观察性研究中混杂因素带来的偏差,从而提高因果推断的可靠性。在此次研究中,采用两样本孟德尔随机化方法研究甲状腺功能水平与肌少症的潜在因果关系。
肌少症:是指与增龄相关的骨骼肌质量和肌肉力量或躯体功能下降,其主要病因包括年龄增长、缺乏运动、营养不良、神经系统疾病及遗传因素等。肌少症可能导致身体虚弱、运动能力下降、日常活动障碍等问题,是老年人群面临的重要疾患。

背景:多项观察性研究发现甲状腺功能水平与肌少症之间存在密切关系,但是甲状腺功能水平与肌少症发病之间的因果关系尚不明确。
目的:采用两样本孟德尔随机化方法研究甲状腺功能水平与肌少症的因果关系。
方法:利用促甲状腺激素、游离三碘甲状腺原氨酸、游离四碘甲状腺原氨酸、亚临床甲状腺功能亢进症、亚临床甲状腺功能减退症和肌少症的4种相关表型——左手握力、右手握力、四肢瘦体质量、步速的全基因组关联研究汇总数据进行两样本孟德尔随机化分析,分别采用逆方差加权法、加权中位数法、简单模式法、加权中值方法和MR-Egger回归法作为分析方法,同时采用异质性检验、多效性检验、
MR-PRESSO、留一法、漏斗图等方法进行敏感性分析。
结果与结论:促甲状腺激素的增高会增加左手握力(β=0.02,SE=0.01,P=0.01)、右手握力(β=0.02,SE=0.01,P=0.01),游离三碘甲状腺原氨酸的增高会降低左手握力(β=-0.06,SE=0.02,P=9.5×10-5) 、右手握力(β=-0.07,SE=0.02,P=9.3×10-5),亚临床甲状腺功能亢进症会降低步速(β=-4.4×10-3,SE=1.7×10-3,P=0.01)。敏感性分析结果与主要分析基本一致。结果表明:促甲状腺激素上升是肌少症保护因素,游离三碘甲状腺原氨酸上升和亚临床甲状腺功能亢进症可能导致肌少症发生风险增加。

Abstract:
BACKGROUND:
Several observational studies have found a close relationship between thyroid function levels and sarcopenia, but the causal relationship between thyroid function levels and the onset of sarcopenia is not yet clear.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the causal relationship between thyroid function levels and sarcopenia using a two sample Mendelian randomization method.
METHODS: A two sample Mendelian randomization analysis was conducted using genome-wide association study data on thyrotropin, free triiodothyronine, free tetraiodothyronine, subclinical hyperthyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism, and four related phenotypes of sarcopenia - left hand grip strength, right hand grip strength, limb lean mass, and gait speed. The inverse-variance weighted method, weighted median method, simple mode method, weighted median estimator method, and MR Egger regression method were used as analysis methods, while heterogeneity test, pleiotropy test, MR-PRESSO, leave-one-out method, funnel plot and other methods were used for sensitivity analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Elevated levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone increased left- (β=0.02, SE=0.01, P=0.01) and right-handed grip strength (β=0.02, SE=0.01, P=0.01), an increase in free triiodothyronine decreased left- (β=-0.06, SE=0.02, P=9.5×10-5) and right-handed grip strength (β=-0.07, SE=0.02, P=9.3×10-5), and subclinical hyperthyroidism decreased gait speed (β=-4.4×10-3, SE=1.7×10-3, P=0.01). The sensitivity analysis results were basically consistent with the main analysis results. To conclude, an increase in thyroid-stimulating hormone is a protective factor for sarcopenia, and elevation of free triiodothyronine and subclinical hyperthyroidism may increase the risk of sarcopenia.

Key words: Mendelian randomization, causal relationship, thyroid function level, thyroid-stimulating hormone, free triiodothyronine, sarcopenia
