Grip Strength and Age-Related Ocular Diseases: Insights from Observational, Mendelian Randomization, and Mediation Analyses
Objective
We aimed to examine the cross sectional and causal associations of grip strength with cataract, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy (DR), and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and probe the underlying mechanisms by evaluating the mediating role of metabolomic alterations.
Design
Cross sectional study.
Subjects
A total of 307 796 UK Biobank participants with grip strength and covariates data available.
Methods
Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations between grip strength and age-related ocular diseases. Two-sample Mendelian randomization analyses were conducted to assess the causality. Metabolic biomarkers from plasma samples were measured through nuclear magnetic resonance (n = 152 376), and principal component (PC) analysis was implemented to identify metabolic patterns (PC1–PC8). The mediation effects of both metabolic biomarkers and metabolic patterns were examined.
Main Outcome Measures
The prevalence of age-related ocular diseases.
Results
Compared with the highest tertile of grip strength, the lowest tertile had a higher prevalence of cataract (odds ratio [OR], 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.24–1.39), glaucoma (OR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.13–1.33), and DR (OR, 2.80; 95% CI, 2.32–3.38). Genetic-associated elevated grip strength of at least 1 hand was associated with a lower risk of developing cataracts, DR, and AMD. Mediation analyses showed metabolic patterns, characterized by altered lipids and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) decrement (i.e., PC2 and PC8), significantly mediated the association of grip strength with cataract and DR.
Conclusions
Weaker grip strength is associated with cataracts, glaucoma, and DR. Metabolomic alterations, especially disrupted lipid metabolism and omega-3 PUFA decrement, serve to be the critical mediators.
