Abstract:
Objective To investigate the onset situation of sarcopenia in elderly patients with type 2 di-abetes mellitus(T2DM),and to analyze the influence factors of fall risk and the relationship between the com-plicating muscle function reduction and the fall risk.Methods A total of 512 cases of T2DM aged ≥60 years old in this hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 served as the study subjects.The grip strength(HS)was tested by the CAMRY-EH101 grip tester,the walking speed(GS)was measured by the stopwatch and tape measure,the muscle content was analyzed and determined by bioelectrical impedance.The skeletal muscle mass index(SMI)was calculated.Sarcopenia was grouped by the AWGS2019 standard,the Morse fall Risk Prediction Scale was used to evaluate the fall risk,and the influencing factors of fall risk were analyzed by bi-nary logistic regression.Results The detection rate of sarcopenia among the study subjects was 19.92％,and 399 patients(77.93％)had the fall risk.Whether having sarcopenia or the severity of sarcopenia had no influ-ence on the fall risk(P＞0.05).Among the patients without sarcopenia,the fall risk in the HS,GS and SMI decrease group was increased compared with the normal group(P＜0.001).The results of the multi-factor a-nalysis showed that the 7 types of variables such as gender,BMI,blood glucose,IL-6,T2DM retinopathy,T2DM pe-ripheral neuropathy and T2DM vascular disease were the influencing factors of fall risk(P＜0.05).Conclusion Eld-erly patients with T2DM have a higher fall risk,and T2DM combined with decreased muscle function could aggravate the fall risk,but T2DM combined with sarcopenia has no significant effect on the fall risk.
