This study explored the association of muscle quality index (MQI) and plasma metabolomics with dementia among stroke survivors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study included 7,047 UK Biobank participants with a history of stroke who were free of dementia at the baseline assessment. MQI was defined as dominant handgrip strength (HGS) divided by corresponding arm fat-free mass. Plasma metabolomics was analyzed via high-throughput nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Metabolomics risk scores (MRS-ACD, MRS-AD, and MRS-VaD) were constructed using metabolite features screening with LASSO regression and XGBoost algorithms. Statistical analyses included Cox proportional hazards models, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (TD-ROC), restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression, interaction analyses, Mendelian randomization (MR), and several sensitivity analyses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Higher MQI was associated with lower risks of all-cause dementia (ACD), Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) (all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      for trend &amp;lt;0.05). Each 1-SD increment in MRS was associated with a higher risk of ACD (HR\u202f=\u202f1.63, 95% CI: 1.36\u20131.96), AD (HR\u202f=\u202f2.40, 95% CI: 1.74\u20133.31), and VaD (HR\u202f=\u202f1.92, 95% CI: 1.46\u20132.54). Individuals with high MRS and lowest MQI had the highest ACD (HR\u202f=\u202f3.29, 95% CI: 1.91\u20135.68), AD (HR\u202f=\u202f5.83, 95% CI: 1.75\u201319.37), and VaD (HR\u202f=\u202f4.57, 95% CI: 2.28\u20139.14) risk.

Two-sample MR using genetically proxied grip strength and lean mass provided suggestive genetic evidence for muscle-dementia relationships: higher genetically predicted lean mass reduced AD risk (OR\u202f=\u202f0.92, 95% CI 0.86\u20130.99,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f0.027), while grip strength showed an independent protective effect on VaD after accounting for lean mass (OR\u202f=\u202f0.16, 95% CI 0.04\u20130.64,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f0.009).
