It examined the correlation between participants\u2019 BMR and cognitive functions, exploring the association with cognitive impairment. Subsequently, publicly available genome-wide association study data was used to examine potential causal links between genetically determined BMR and specific cognitive disorders using Mendelian randomization.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Cross-sectional findings revealed a significant positive correlation between higher BMR and cognitive scores. In Mendelian randomization analysis, BMR demonstrated an inverse causal relationship with Alzheimer\u2019s disease and Parkinson\u2019s dementia, suggesting BMR as a potential protective factor against these diseases. No causal links were found with vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study supports the role of BMR as a potential protective factor against Alzheimer\u2019s disease and Parkinson\u2019s dementia, suggesting that BMR may play an important role in preventing cognitive decline. However, due to the limitations of cross-sectional studies, further prospective studies and broader demographic samples are necessary to verify these results and explore underlying biological mechanisms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Key messages What is already known on this topic: Existing knowledge suggests a close relationship between BMR and health and cognitive functions, but detailed studies on its connection with specific cognitive impairments are still needed. What this study adds: This study found a significant positive correlation between higher BMR and cognitive improvement, potentially aiding in the prevention of Alzheimer\u2019s and Parkinson\u2019s dementia. How this study might affect research, practice, or policy: This finding guides public health strategies and personalized medicine, emphasizing the necessity for further research to validate BMR\u2019s protective effects.<\/jats:p>\n
