A retrospective study on 369 records of 245 diabetics hospitalized in HuÕ Central Hospital during the last 4 years revealed some characteristics as follow: - The discrepancy in frequency of diabetes mellitus in man and in woman is minimal. - NIDDM is 3.5 times more common than IDDM. - The frequency of the disease increased with age. It is highest at age of 51 to 70. 61.63% of diabetics were retired and disable. - Number of diabetics in city and in rural regions is nearly the same. - About clinical aspects: only 33.06% of diabetics have overt symptoms in full. 11.84% of diabetics who were undiagnosed and only found out when hospitalizing because of other diseases. Majority of NIDDM was nonobese. This is one of the specificities of NIDDM in our country. - About paraclinical aspects: we have not profited from technological achieves in following and studying the disease yet. Public measures were not, so far applied for meticulous control regiment. The complications of diabetes mellitus are thus still numerous. - In order to prevent complications, more effective measures should be, therefore, applied in treatment and monitoring diabetic out- patients.

The results of epidemiological survey in 2001, done in communes Tan Dan and Thai Son - An Lao District - Hai Phong city on 212 persons more than 16 years old randomly selected from 96 households. Capillary glucosemia was measured while person’s hunger at 7 one Touch Basic equipment. Common diabetes prevalence in 2 communes was 1.42%. Glucose decreased tolerance prevalence was 0.44%, both diabetes and glucose decreased tolerance were 2.63%. Arterial tension, BMI and WRH of both diabetes and glucose decreased tolerance had tendency to be higher than those of normal people (20% versus 10.7%; 20.4% versus 20.1% and 0.87% versus 0.85%)

Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of muscle mass and strength that occurs with aging. Although the etiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis of sarcopenia are obscure, sarcopenia has been suggested to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of frailty and functional impairment in diabetes. The aim of this article was to provide an overview of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, epidemiology, and clinical implications of sarcopenia and the relationship between diabetes and sarcopenia.
