OBJECTIVE A loss of skeletal muscle mass is frequently observed in older adults. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of type 2 diabetes on the changes in body composition, with particular interest in the skeletal muscle mass. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We examined total body composition with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry annually for 6 years in 2,675 older adults. We also measured mid-thigh muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) with computed tomography in year 1 and year 6. At…

Association of Muscle Mass, Area, and Strength With Incident Diabetes in Older Adults: The Health ABC Study.

Greater muscle area is associated with a lower risk of incident diabetes for older normal-weight women but not for men or overweight women, and this association differs by body mass index (BMI) category.

Skeletal muscle and organ masses differ in overweight adults with type 2 diabetes.

In this sample, type 2 diabetes is characterized by less relative skeletal muscle and cardiac mass in conjunction with larger kidneys, liver, and spleen, and further investigation is needed to establish the causes and metabolic consequences of these race- and sex-specific organ mass differences in T2DM.

Loss of skeletal muscle mass and its predictors in type 2 diabetes patients under a multifaceted treatment approach

Baseline accumulation of visceralFat may predict a preferential reduction of visceral fat rather than skeletal muscle during weight control programs in type 2 diabetes patients.

Insulin Treatment Attenuates Decline of Muscle Mass in Japanese Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

The data suggest that insulin treatment could attenuate the progression of sarcopenia in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Body composition in adults with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes: effects of metformin

Metformin therapy results in significant improvement in body composition and insulin sensitivity of adults with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes, and sarcopenia begins in women with diabetes much earlier than expected as an age related phenomenon.

Hyperglycemia is associated with relatively lower lean body mass in older adults.

Hyperglycemia is associated with relatively lower lean mass in a nationally representative population of older adults without history of diabetes, and persons at increased risk for diabetes also had significant decrements at these sites versus reference.

Patients with type 2 diabetes show a greater decline in muscle mass, muscle strength, and functional capacity with aging.

Low skeletal muscle mass is associated with the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Low muscle mass was independently associated with all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and the preservation of skeletal muscle mass is important to protect patients with T2DM from increased mortality risk.

Hyperglycemia is associated with relatively lower lean body mass in older adults

Hyperglycemia is associated with relatively lower lean mass in a nationally representative population of older adults without history of diabetes, independent of demographics and height.

Low muscle quality in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients with visceral fat accumulation

T2DM patients with visceral fat accumulation had low muscle quality, and patients with high muscle quality were more affected with cardiovascular diseases.

Accelerated Loss of Skeletal Muscle Strength in Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes

In older adults, type 2 diabetes is associated with accelerated loss of leg muscle strength and quality, and these declines were attenuated but remained significant after controlling for demographics, body composition, physical activity, combined chronic diseases, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α.

Decreased Muscle Strength and Quality in Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes is associated with lower skeletal muscle strength and quality and these characteristics may contribute to the development of physical disability in older adults with diabetes.

Strength, but not muscle mass, is associated with mortality in the health, aging and body composition study cohort.

Low muscle mass did not explain the strong association of strength with mortality, demonstrating that muscle strength as a marker of muscle quality is more important than quantity in estimating mortality risk.

Longitudinal changes in body composition in older men and women: role of body weight change and physical activity.

The natural longitudinal patterns of change in fat-free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) in older adults and the effect of physical activity, weight change, and age on these changes were examined.

Muscle mass, muscle strength, and muscle fat infiltration as predictors of incident mobility limitations in well-functioning older persons.

Lower muscle mass (smaller cross-sectional thigh muscle area), greater fat infiltration into the muscle, and lower knee extensor muscle strength are associated with increased risk of mobility loss in older men and women.

Insulin Resistance of Protein Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetes

Men with type 2 diabetes have greater insulin resistance of protein metabolism than that conferred by excess adiposity itself, whereas women do not, and these results may have implications for dietary protein requirements.

Changes in body weight and body fat distribution as risk factors for clinical diabetes in US men.

The relations between changes in body weight and body fat distribution and the subsequent risk of diabetes among 22,171 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study are examined to underscore the critical importance of maintaining weight and waist to reduce the risk of Diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes in older well-functioning people: who is undiagnosed? Data from the Health, Aging, and Body Composition study.

In approximately one-third of all older people with diabetes, the condition remains undiagnosed, and screening for diabetes may be more efficient among men and individuals with hypertension, high BMI, and large waist circumference.

One- and two-year change in body composition as measured by DXA in a population-based cohort of older men and women.

The mean change in body composition after a 1- to 2-yr follow-up was 1-2% with a high interindividual variability, suggesting that men and blacks may be more prone to muscle loss.

Effect of exogenous insulin on protein metabolism with differing nonprotein energy intakes in Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Sufficient exogenous insulin to near-normalize glycaemia improves the altered protein metabolism in hyperglycaemic diabetic subjects during isoenergetic feeding, and restores nitrogen equilibrium better than with VLED alone.
