Article Synopsis
- * A review of twelve studies involving over 11,000 adults showed that the prevalence of Mets was similar in both groups (61.49% for SO vs. 56.74% for non-SO).
- * The analysis concluded that having SO does not significantly increase the risk of developing Mets compared to individuals with obesity alone.
Background: The coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity is referred to as sarcopenic obesity (SO) and it has been hypothesized that the two components of SO may synergistically increase their negative effects. However, many uncertainties still surround this condition especially with regard to its potential negative effects on health outcomes.
Aim: To conduct a systematic review to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia among adults with overweight and obesity and to investigate whether SO was associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D).
