Article Synopsis
- Diabetes mellitus (DM) increases fracture risk due to bone and microvascular issues, and this study investigates its potential link to sarcopenia, as previous research has been inconclusive.*
-
- A systematic review analyzed 15 studies with over 1,800 type 2 DM patients, finding that those with DM had a 1.55 times higher risk of developing sarcopenia compared to individuals with normal glucose levels.*
-
- The findings indicated that patients with type 2 DM had significantly lower muscle performance and strength, but no difference in muscle mass when compared to euglycemic subjects, confirming the association with sarcopenia risk.*
