Our review on #sarcopenia is online in #Metabolism-Clinical & Experimental now. We summarized the epidemiological features of the disease as well as its risk factors and consequences. Future directions in this field were also highlighted. Susanna Larsson metabolismjournal.com/article/S0026-…

New article out in BMJMedicine with Susanna Larsson and Dipender Gill bmjmedicine.bmj.com/content/2/1/1 We use drug target MR to support a protective effect of plasma caffeine levels on diabetes - and find that this is mediated by an effect of caffeine on weight loss.

We conduct a multinational study to decipher the causal associations of sleep duration and daytime napping with peripheral artery disease. Now published in #EHJOpen Thanks for the great support from Jie Chen Michael Levin Scott Damrauer Susanna Larsson

#Research suggests that higher plasma #caffeine concentrations may have potential benefits for reducing #adiposity and lowering risk of #Type2Diabetes. Clinical study is needed to investigate the translational potential of these findings. ▶️ bit.ly/3Zw17sQ Susanna Larsson

This is my guy Benji Woolf doing some clever stuff to show how mis-specifying the exposure in drug target MR can cause all kinds of problems! Really nicely supervised by Stephen Burgess to have created a lovely paper
