Aims/hypothesis Asians have a propensity to develop type 2 diabetes with a lower BMI than
Western populations. This discrepancy may be due to differences in body fat and muscle …

Aims Our aim was to clarify the association between type 2 diabetes and the risk of low
muscle mass in older adults. Methods In the present study, 414 adults aged 65 years or …

Aims The association between relative muscle mass (RMM) and incidence of type 2
diabetes (T2DM) is largely unknown. We examined whether RMM predicted development of …

Context: Skeletal muscle plays a key role in glucose regulation, yet the association between
muscle quantity or quality and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes has not been explored …

Background/objectives Although relatively less muscle mass has been associated with
greater diabetes prevalence, whether there is an association between muscle mass and …

Context: Insulin resistance, the basis of type 2 diabetes, is rapidly increasing in prevalence;
very low muscle mass is a risk factor for insulin resistance. Objective: The aim was to …

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 …

Aims The aim of the current study was to investigate the association of type 2 diabetes (T2D)
and insulin treatment with changes in muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical …

Background Skeletal muscle plays a major role in glucose metabolism. We investigated the
association between thigh muscle mass, insulin resistance, and incident type 2 diabetes …

Objective Age-related declines in skeletal muscle mass may confer significant metabolic
consequences for older adults. Associations of low muscle mass and metabolic syndrome …
