Risk factors for falls in older adults with type 2 diabetes: A cross-sectional study.

The study was to estimate the prevalence of falls with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and investigate the associated risk factors. The study design employed was cross-sectional. The participants for this study were recruited from a community-based diabetes specialist clinic.

Associated factors of low muscle mass in community-dwelling patients with type 2 diabetes.

This study aims to analyze the prevalence of low muscle mass (LMM) and its associated factors among community-dwelling patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). A retrospective design was employed to analyze the body composition of 2404 adults with T2D aged 18 years and older. LMM was defined as a skeletal muscle index < 7.

Risk factors associated with frailty in older adults with type 2 diabetes: A cross-sectional study.

Aims And Objectives: The aims of the study were to (i) estimate the prevalence of frailty among older adults with type 2 diabetes, and (ii) investigate risk factors associated with frailty in the study group.

Background: The high prevalence of frailty among older adults and its adverse health impacts including higher risks for physical disabilities and a higher mortality rate is quickly evolving to become an important public health issue.

Design: A cross-sectional design.

Association of Body Composition with Type 2 Diabetes: A Retrospective Chart Review Study.

This study analyzed the body composition of individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). In this retrospective chart review study, body composition was measured through multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (InBody 770). Body composition assessments were conducted in individuals with T2DM, who were aged ≥18 years.

FAT10/diubiquitin-like protein-deficient mice exhibit minimal phenotypic differences.

The FAT10 gene encodes a diubiquitin-like protein containing two tandem head-to-tail ubiquitin-like domains. There is a high degree of similarity between murine and human FAT10 sequences at both the mRNA and protein levels. In various cell lines, FAT10 expression was shown to be induced by gamma interferon or by tumor necrosis factor alpha.
