Abstract
Cholelithiasis is a common digestive disease that drives a myriad of adverse complications. The correlation between sarcopenia and various digestive disorders has been extensively researched, whereas its association with cholelithiasis remains unreported. We aimed to investigate the association through prospective and Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses and establish a quantitative score reflecting the impact of sarcopenia-related markers on cholelithiasis. The prospective study involved 448 627 participants from the UK Biobank. Cox proportional hazard models were employed to investigate the correlation between sarcopenia-related markers and cholelithiasis. To quantitatively assess cholelithiasis risk, the SARCHO score was derived from a multivariable Cox model. Bidirectional two-sample MR analysis was conducted to validate the causal association. A total of 16 738 individuals developed cholelithiasis during a median follow-up of 12 years. Hazard ratios (HRs) of cholelithiasis decreased stepwise over skeletal muscle index tertiles (highest tertile: reference; middle tertile: 1.23, p < .001; lowest tertile: 1.33, p < .001). The tertiles of grip strength showed a similar pattern. Individuals with slow walking pace had a higher risk of cholelithiasis compared to those with normal walking pace (HR 1.23; p < .001). Our SARCHO score better quantifies the risk of cholelithiasis. MR analysis showed a causal relationship between muscle mass and cholelithiasis (OR 0.81; p < .001). No causal effect of cholelithiasis on lean mass was observed. Prospective and MR analyses have consistently demonstrated an increased risk of cholelithiasis in individuals with decreased muscle mass. Additionally, SARCHO score further quantified the cholelithiasis occurrence risk. These findings provide compelling evidence for muscle strengthening in preventing cholelithiasis.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) poses a global health challenge, necessitating effective preventive strategies. Despite the pivotal role of physical activity in cardiovascular health, many fall short of recommended guidelines for daily physical activity. Simple and accessible, walking presents an opportunity, with increased pace emerging as a potential strategy for reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Thus, we aimed to elucidate the potential association between walking pace and the risk of CAD events in adults without a prior history of CAD through a systematic review. We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect without publication date restrictions to identify prospective cohorts that analyzed walking pace and adult CAD events. The literature search conducted from April 02, 2023, to August 21, 2023, identified a total of four studies (six cohorts) for meta-analysis using random-effects models. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess study quality, and data extraction involved two independent reviewers. The analysis calculated overall relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for those with the quickest walking paces compared to those with the slowest walking paces. A funnel plot analysis for publication bias and subgroup analysis were also conducted. Results from the meta-analysis involving 160,519 participants and 3,351 CAD events demonstrated a 46% decreased risk for those walking at the quickest pace (pooled RR = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.45-0.66). No significant heterogeneity was observed. In conclusion, walking pace emerges as a significant risk factor for CAD events in adults without a prior history of CAD. It serves as a potential screening tool to identify individuals at higher risk. Promoting a faster walking pace as a daily activity may effectively mitigate the burden of CAD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to quantify the association of handgrip strength and self-reported walking pace with incident Parkinson's disease (PD) in the general population. METHODS A total of 419 572 participants (54.1% females, mean age: 56.1 years [SD, 8.2]) without prior PD were included from UK Biobank. Handgrip strength was assessed by dynamometer. Walking pace was self-reported as slow, average or brisk. The study outcome was incident PD, determined by self-report data, hospital admission records or death records. RESULTS The mean handgrip strength was 23.5 (SD, 6.3) and 39.6 (SD, 8.9) kg for females and males, respectively. A total of 33 645 (8.0%), 221 682 (52.8%) and 164 245 (39.2%) participants reported slow, average and brisk walking pace, respectively. Over a median follow-up duration of 12.5 years, 2152 participants developed incident PD. When handgrip strength was assessed as sex-specific tertiles, compared with those in the third tertile, the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence interval [CI]) of incident PD for participants in the second and first tertiles were 1.23 (1.09-1.39) and 1.60 (1.42-1.79), respectively. Compared with brisk walking pace, average (HR, 1.33; 95% CI: 1.20-1.47) or slow (HR, 1.84; 95% CI: 1.57-2.15) walking pace was associated with a higher risk of incident PD. A lower grip strength (Tertiles 1 and 2) and an average/slow walking pace accounted for 23.8% and 19.9% of PD cases, respectively. When handgrip strength and walking pace were considered together, the highest risk of incident PD was observed in participants with both lowest handgrip strength and slow walking pace (HR, 2.89; 95% CI: 2.30-3.64). Genetic risks of PD did not significantly modify the relation of handgrip strength (P for interaction = 0.371) or walking pace (P for interaction = 0.082) with new-onset PD. CONCLUSIONS Low handgrip strength and slow walking pace were significantly associated with a higher risk of incident PD, regardless of the individuals' genetic risk profile.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Walking pace is associated with various health-related outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between self-reported walking pace and the incidences of diabetic microvascular complications among participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS Self-reported walking pace was classified as brisk, average, or slow. The outcomes were the incidences of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, and diabetic nephropathy. COX proportional hazards models adjusted for sociodemographic, lifestyle, and health-related factors were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs. RESULTS A total of 14 518 participants with T2D in the UK Biobank (mean age 59.7 ± 7.0 years, 5028 [34.6%] women) were included. During a median follow-up of 12.5 (interquartile range: 11.6-13.4) years, 2980 participants developed diabetic microvascular complications. After adjusting for confounding factors, and compared with brisk walkers, slow walkers had a multivariable-adjusted HR of 1.98 (95% CI 1.58, 2.47) for composite diabetic microvascular complications, 1.54 (95% CI 1.11, 2.14) for diabetic retinopathy, 3.26 (95% CI 2.08, 5.11) for diabetic neuropathy, and 2.32 (95% CI 1.91, 2.82) for diabetic nephropathy. Average walking pace was associated with a higher risk for diabetic nephropathy (HR 1.51, 95 CI% 1.27-1.79) compared with brisk walking. Additionally, ≥1 diabetic microvascular complication occurred in 447 (14.7%) of participants with brisk walking pace, 1702 (19.5%) with average walking pace, and 831 (30.4%) with slow walking pace. Time from study recruitment to first diagnosis was shorter in participants who reported a slow walking pace, compared with brisk or average walkers. Among participants who had diabetic nephropathy as their first diagnosis, slow walking pace was associated with subsequent risk of a second diabetic microvascular complication (HR 3.88, 95 CI% 2.27-6.60). CONCLUSIONS Self-reported slow walking pace is associated with a higher risk of diabetic microvascular complications among participants with T2D in this population-based cohort study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia and depression are common and often coexist in the elderly. This study aims to determine the impact of sarcopenia-related muscle traits on depression. METHODS A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was performed on the summary-level data from the FinnGen cohort to estimate the causal association of appendicular lean mass (ALM), walking pace, or low hand grip strength with depression. Additionally, multivariable MR (MVMR) was performed to assess the dependence of each muscle trait in the causality and adjust the effect of body mass index (BMI). Supplementary backward MR analyses were performed to estimate the effect of depression on sarcopenia-related muscle traits. RESULTS Univariable MR analyses demonstrated that there were causal associations of ALM (odds ratio [OR]: 0.94; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.88-0.99), walking pace (OR: 0.53; 95% CI: 0.32-0.88), and low hand grip strength (OR: 1.20; 95% CI: 1.05-1.38) with depression. MVMR analyses showed that ALM was the only trait that had a significant causal relationship with depression (OR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.85-0.98) after accounting for the other two muscle traits. Moreover, the independent association of ALM with depression remained (OR: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.85-0.99) after being adjusted by BMI. The backward MR analyses showed no causal associations of depression with any sarcopenia-related muscle traits. CONCLUSION Low muscle mass independently increases the risk of depression. This study determined the muscle-related risk factors of depression, which may help establish the causality between sarcopenia and depression and provide evidence-based recommendations for improving mental health in the elderly.

Abstract
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common joint diseases worldwide, imposing a substantial burden on individuals and society. Numerous pieces of evidence suggest that walking pace (WP) can serve as a predictive indicator for the risk of various diseases, and observational studies have also found a potential link between WP and the risk of OA. However, the causal relationship between WP and the risk of OA remains unclear. Methods: We conducted a mendelian randomization (MR) study using data from the European Genome-wide Association Study, which included WP (including 459,915 participants), OA (including 10,083 cases and 40,425 controls), knee OA (including 24,955 cases and 378,169 controls), and hip OA (including 15,704 cases and 378,169 controls). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with WP were utilized to infer causal associations with OA and its subtypes. The Inverse Variance Weighted (IVW) technique served as the primary causal analysis method. Three auxiliary MR methods - MR-Egger, weighted median, and maximum likelihood - were used to substantiate the IVW results. Sensitivity analyses were performed to examine heterogeneity and pleiotropy. In addition, multivariate MR (MVMR) analysis was used to assess causality after adjustment for three potential confounders. Results: According to the results of the IVW method, every 1 standard deviation increased in genetic WP corresponds to an 89% reduction in the risk of OA (odds ratio (OR) = 0.11; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0. 06-0.19; p = 1.57 × 10-13), an 83% reduction in the risk of knee OA (OR = 0.17; 95% CI, 0.11-0.28; p = 2.78 × 10-13), and a 76% reduction in the risk of hip OA (OR = 0.24; 95% CI, 0.14-0.43; p = 1.51 × 10-6). These results were confirmed by the three additional MR methods and validated by the sensitivity analysis. Ultimately, the MVMR analysis confirmed that the role of WP in reducing the risk of OA and its subtypes remains consistent regardless of potential confounders. Conclusion: The results of our MR study highlight a significant causal association between WP and the susceptibility to OA, including its knee and hip subtypes. These findings propose that WP could be utilized as a potential prognostic factor for OA risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the importance of walking for promoting a better cardiometabolic health is widely known (this includes both cardiovascular and metabolic/endocrine systems), there is little knowledge regarding its appropriate pace to provide adults with more cardiometabolic benefits. AIM To analyze the associations between different walking pace categories and cardiometabolic health markers in the adult Chilean population. METHODS Cross-sectional study. A total of 5520 participants aged 15 to 90 years old from the Chilean National Health Survey (CNHS) 2016-2017 were included. Walking pace categories (slow, average, and brisk) were collected through self-reported methods. Glycaemia, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), vitamin D2, vitamin D3, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and lipid profile (Total, HDL, LDL, VLDL, No HDL cholesterol and triglycerides) were determined using blood sample tests and measured with the standardized methods described in the CNHS 2016-2017. RESULTS People who had a brisk walking pace were associated with lower levels of glycaemia, HbA1c, GGT, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and higher vitamin D3 levels compared with those with a slow walking pace. Moreover, people with a brisk walking pace had lower levels of VLDL cholesterol compared with those with a slow walking pace. However, after adjusting the model to include sociodemographic background, nutritional status, and lifestyle variables, the differences remained only for glycaemia, HbA1c and systolic blood pressure levels. CONCLUSIONS A brisk walking pace was associated with better cardiometabolic health markers and lipid profile compared with a slow walking pace.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to investigate the relations of handgrip strength, walking pace and the combination of handgrip strength and walking pace with incident hypertension, and to explore whether this association was modified by the genetic risk of hypertension. METHODS 214 214 participants without prior hypertension in the UK Biobank were included. Handgrip strength was assessed by dynamometer. Walking pace was self-defined as slow, average, or brisk. The study outcome was incident hypertension. A genetic risk score for hypertension was generated using a Bayesian approach applied to meta-analyzed summary statistics GWAS data. RESULTS Over a median follow-up of 11.9 years, 13 344 (6.2%) participants developed incident hypertension. When handgrip strength was assessed as sex-specific quartiles, compared with those with the lowest handgrip strength (quartile 1), the adjusted HRs (95% CI) of incident hypertension in quartile 2, quartile 3, and quartile 4 were 0.80 (0.69, 0.93), 0.74 (0.64, 0.86), and 0.72 (0.61, 0.84), respectively. Compared with those with slow walking pace, participants with average (HR, 0.52; 95% CI: 0.40, 0.67) or brisk (HR, 0.43; 95% CI: 0.32, 0.56) walking pace had significantly lower risks of hypertension. Moreover, compared with those with both lower handgrip strength (quartile 1) and slow walking pace, the lowest risk of incident hypertension was observed in participants with both high handgrip strength (quartiles 2-4) and fast (average or brisk) walking pace (HR, 0.36; 95% CI: 0.25, 0.52). Genetic risks of hypertension did not significantly modify the association (p-interaction = 0.300). CONCLUSION Both higher handgrip strength and faster walking pace were significantly associated with a lower risk of incident hypertension, independent of genetic risks of hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have reported an association between sarcopenia and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but causation was prone to confounding factors. A more robust research approach is urgently required to investigate the causal relationship between sarcopenia and T2DM. METHODS The bi-directional two-sample MR study was carried out in two stages: Sarcopenia-related traits were investigated as exposure while T2DM was investigated as an outcome in the first step, whereas the second step was reversed. The GWAS summary data for hand-grip strength (n = 256,523), appendicular lean mass (ALM, n = 450,243), and walking pace (n = 459,915) were obtained from the UK Biobank. T2DM data were obtained from one of the biggest case-control studies on diabetes (DIAGRAM; n = 180,834 cases and 492,191 controls), which was published in 2022. The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) approach was used to obtain MR estimates, and various sensitivity analysis was also performed. RESULTS Low hand-grip strength had a potential causal relationship with an increased incidence of T2DM (OR = 1.109; 95% CI, 1.008-1.222; p = 0.0350). T2DM risk was reduced by increasing ALM and walking pace: A 1 kg/m2 increase in ALM decreased the risk of T2DM by 10.2% (OR = 0.898; 95% CI, 0.830-0.952; p < 0.001). A 1 m/s increase in walking pace decreased the risk of T2DM by 90.0% (OR = 0.100; 95% CI, 0.053-0.186; p < 0.001). The relationship was bidirectional, with T2DM as a causative factor of sarcopenia-related traits (p < 0.05) except for ALM (β = 0.018; 95% CI, -0.008 to -0.044; p = 0.168). CONCLUSIONS Hand-grip strength and T2DM had a potential bidirectional causal relationship, as did walking pace and T2DM. We suggest that sarcopenia and T2DM may mutually have a significant causal effect on each other.

Abstract
Brisk walkers are physically more active, taller, have reduced body fat and greater physical fitness and muscle strength. The aim of our study was to determine whether genetic variants associated with increased walking pace were overrepresented in elite sprinters compared to controls. A total of 70 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously identified in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of self-reported walking pace in 450,967 European individuals were explored in relation to sprinter status. Genotyping of 137 Russian elite sprinters and 126 controls was performed using microarray technology. Favorable (i.e., high-speed-walking) alleles of 15 SNPs (FHL2 rs55680124 C, SLC39A8 rs13107325 C, E2F3 rs4134943 T, ZNF568 rs1667369 A, GDF5 rs143384 G, PPARG rs2920503 T, AUTS2 rs10452738 A, IGSF3 rs699785 A, CCT3 rs11548200 T, CRTAC1 rs2439823 A, ADAM15 rs11264302 G, C6orf106 rs205262 A, AKAP6 rs12883788 C, CRTC1 rs11881338 A, NRXN3 rs8011870 G) were identified as having positive associations with sprinter status (p < 0.05), of which IGSF3 rs699785 survived correction for multiple testing (p = 0.00004) and was linked (p = 0.042) with increased proportions of fast-twitch muscle fibers of m. vastus lateralis in physically active men (n = 67). Polygenic analysis revealed that individuals with ≥18 favorable alleles of the 15 SNPs have an increased odds ratio of being an elite sprinter when compared to those with ≤17 alleles (OR: 7.89; p < 0.0001). Using UK Biobank data, we also established the association of 14 favorable alleles with low BMI and fat percentage, 8 alleles with increased handgrip strength, and 7 alleles with increased height and fat-free mass. In conclusion, we have identified 15 new genetic markers associated with sprinter status.

Abstract
The current study aims to investigate the combined association of walking pace and grip strength with incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). A total of 205 738 participants (mean age 56.6 ± 8.1 years, 115 139 [56.0%] women) without diagnosed or unknown diabetes at baseline from the UK Biobank study were included in this prospective study. Walking pace was self-reported as slow, average, or brisk. Grip strength was measured using a dynamometer and classified as weak, average, and strong. The combined association of walking pace and grip strength with incident T2D was investigated using Cox-proportional hazards models with a 2-year landmark analysis. The additive interaction was conducted by estimating relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI). After the median follow-up period of 5.4 years (interquartile range: 4.8-6.5), 5082 (2.5%) participants were diagnosed with T2D. Compared to brisk-strong individuals (reference group), people who were slow-weak had a higher risk of T2D (hazard ratio: 1.64 [95% CI, 1.42-1.89]) after adjusting for all covariates. There were dose-response gradients across both walking pace and grip strength variables. There was a modest amount of negative additive interaction (RERI; -0.06 [95% CI, -0.16; -0.01]. To conclude, slower pace and weaker grip strength were associated with a higher risk of developing T2D, independent of sociodemographics, lifestyle, and adiposity. Combining walking pace and grip strength might be a practical approach to screening people who are at increased risk of developing T2D.

Abstract
Background: Currently, it is unclear whether there is a causal association between genetically predicted plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels and the risk of sarcopenia. We performed a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to assess the association between circulating Hcy levels and the components [grip strength, walking pace, and appendicular lean mass (ALM)] of sarcopenia. Methods: Independent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with plasma Hcy levels served as instrumental variables. Summary-level data regarding the components of sarcopenia. Were obtained from the UK Biobank. Inverse variance weighted (IVW) as the primary method was used for Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. We also use four models, weighted median, MR-Egger regression, Maximum likelihood, and Penalised weighted median, as supplementary methods to IVW. The MR-Egger intercept test, Cochran's Q test, and "leave-one-out" sensitivity analysis were performed to evaluate the horizontal pleiotropy, heterogeneities, and stability of the causal association between Hcy levels and the components of sarcopenia. Results: The IVW-MR analysis suggested significant negative associations of increased plasma Hcy levels with grip strength (right: effect = -0.036, SE = 0.032, p = 5.53E-4; left: effect = -0.045, SE = 0.010, p = 1.45E-5), walking pace (effect = -0.038, SE = 0.011, p = 3.18E-4), and ALM (effect = -0.058, 0.013, p = 1.03E-5). However, there were no significant associations of decreased plasma Hcy levels with grip strength (right: effect = 0.005, SE = 0.021, p = 0.82; left: effect = -0.006, SE = 0.014, p = 0.64), walking pace (effect = 0.01, 0.020, p = 0.61), or ALM (effect = -0.034, SE = 0.018, p = 0.06).The accuracy and robustness of these findings were confirmed by sensitivity tests. Conclusion: Increased circulating Hcy levels were associated with lower grip strength, slower walking pace, and decreased ALM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Walking pace is a well-known indicator of physical capability, but it is also a strong predictor of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, there is a lack of evidence on the association between walking pace and T2D, specifically, within developing countries such as Chile. AIM To investigate the association between self-reported walking pace and T2D in the Chilean adult population. METHODS 5520 Chilean participants (aged 15 to 90 years, 52.1% women) from the Chilean National Health Survey 2016-2017 were included in this cross-sectional study. Both walking pace (slow, average, and brisk) and diabetes data were collected through self-reported methods. Fasting blood glucose (reported in mg/dl) and glycosylated haemoglobin A (HbA1c) scores were determined via blood exams. RESULTS In the unadjusted model, and compared to people who reported a slow walking pace, those with average and brisk walking pace had lower blood glucose levels (β = -7.74 mg/dL (95% CI: -11.08 to -4.40) and β = -11.05 mg/dL (95% CI: -14.36 to -7.75), respectively) and lower HbA1c (β = -0.34% (95% CI: -0.57 to -0.11) and β= -0.72% (95% CI: -0.94 to -0.49)), respectively. After adjusting for sociodemographic, Body Mass Index and lifestyle factors, the association between glycaemia and HbA1c remained only for brisk walkers. Both the average and brisk walker categories had lower odds of T2D (OR: 0.59 (95% CI: 0.41 to 0.84) and (OR 0.48 (95% CI: 0.30 to 0.79), respectively). CONCLUSION Brisk walkers were associated with lower blood glucose and HbA1c levels. Moreover, average to brisk walking pace also showed a lower risk for T2D.
