Abstract:
Objective To explore the correlation between sarcopenia and body fat percentage(BF%)in elderly male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 291 elderly male T2DM patients who were hospitalized in the Endocrinology Department of Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University were enrolled in this study from December 2018 to September 2019.All the patients were divided into sarcopenia group(n=35)and non sarcopenia group(n=256).BF%,skeletal muscle mass index(SMI),grip strength,gait speed,HbA1c,hemoglobin(Hb),blood uric acid(SUA),albumin and vitamin D(Vit D)were measured in all the participants.Results Compared with the non sarcopenia group,age,HbA1c and BF%were increased,while BMI,Vit D,SMI,Hb,SUA,ALB,grip strength,and gait speedwere decreased in sarcopenia group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Pearson correlation analysis showed that SMI was positively correlated with BMI,Vit D,Hb,and SUA(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and negatively correlated with HbA1c(P＜0.01).Grip strength and gait speed are positively correlated with Vit D and Hb(P＜0.01),and negatively correlated with BF%(P＜0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that age and BF%were risk factors for sarcopenia,while BMI and Vit D were protective factors for sarcopenia.Conclusions High BF%significantly increases the risk of sarcopenia in elderly male T2DM patients.
