AI Article Synopsis
- This study examines the link between muscle mass and the prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes, assessing differences based on gender and weight status (normal, overweight, obesity).* -
- Data was obtained from the Lifelines cohort study, defining low muscle mass using creatinine excretion rates and employing multivariate logistic regression to analyze the relationship with diabetes outcomes.* -
- Results indicate that low muscle mass is significantly associated with a higher prevalence (1.51 for men and 1.53 for women) and incidence of diabetes, particularly prominent in individuals with normal weight.*
Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate whether muscle mass is associated with the prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes and whether this association differs within men and women of normal weight, overweight or obesity.
Methods: Adult participants were included from the Lifelines cohort study. Low muscle mass was defined as < -1SD of the gender-stratified creatinine excretion rate (CER). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between muscle mass and the prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes.
Results: Muscle mass was associated with the prevalence of type 2 diabetes both in men and in women (OR 1.51 [95 %CI 1.32-1.72]; P < 0.001 and OR 1.53 [1.36 - 1.73]; P < 0.001). Incident type 2 diabetes was associated with a decreased muscle mass for both men and women (male; OR 1.22 [1.05 - 1.43]; P = 0.01 and female; OR 1.36 [1.17 - 1.59]; P < 0.001), and remained significant after adjustments in normal weight women (OR 1.77 [1.16-2.70]; P = 0.008).
Conclusions: Both a low muscle mass and loss of muscle mass are associated with the prevalence and incidence of diabetes in the general population. This association is strongest in people with normal weight, and weakens in people within higher BMI subgroups.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) severity and fat, bone, and muscle indices.
Methods: This study included 102 patients with OSAHS and retrospectively reviewed their physical examination data. All patients underwent polysomnography, body composition analysis, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, computed tomography (CT) and blood test.

Background: Advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (aPDAC) is often accompanied by significant muscle mass loss, contributing to poor prognosis. SarcAPACaP, an ancillary study of the GERCOR-APACaP phase III trial, evaluated the role of adapted physical activity (APA) in aPDAC Western patients receiving first-line chemotherapy. The study aimed to assess (1) the potential impact of computed tomography (CT)-quantified muscle mass before and during treatments on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and overall survival (OS) and (2) the role of APA in mitigating muscle mass loss.

Background: The oxidative handicap hypothesis posits that testosterone-dependent traits, such as muscle mass and strength, may be costly to develop due to testosterone's pro-oxidative properties, leading to increased oxidative stress. This hypothesis suggests that only individuals with superior biological conditions can afford these costs. This study examines the oxidative handicap hypothesis, exploring the relationship between muscle mass or handgrip strength and oxidative stress markers in men.

Sarcopenia, the pathological age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, contributes to physical decline, frailty, and diminished healthspan. The impact of sarcopenia is expected to rise as the aging population grows, and treatments remain limited. Therefore, novel approaches for enhancing physical function and strength in older adults are desperately needed.
