TLDR
A meta-analysis of studies on the community-dwelling population to investigate the prevalence of sarcopenia and its association with diabetes was performed in this paper, where the authors reported that the prevalence was significantly higher in diabetics than in non-diabetics.
Abstract
Purpose: Sarcopenia is a major disease affecting mortality and quality of life in the elderly population. We performed a meta-analysis of studies on the community-dwelling population to investigate the prevalence of sarcopenia and its association with diabetes. Methods: Databases were searched for studies published up to February 3, 2021, reporting the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with and without diabetes. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed according to the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Results: Six articles were included in the systematic review. All the patients were Asian, aged ≥60 years (women 53.4%), and the diabetic and non-diabetic population was 1,537 and 5,485, respectively. In all six studies, the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria were used to diagnose sarcopenia. The prevalence of sarcopenia was 15.9% in diabetics and 10.8% in non-diabetics. Diabetics showed a significantly higher risk of sarcopenia than non-diabetics (pooled OR = 1.518, 95% CI = 1.110 to 2.076, Z-value = 2.611, p = 0.009). Conclusion: Among the Asian community-dwelling geriatric population, the prevalence of sarcopenia was significantly higher in diabetics than in non-diabetics. These results suggest that strategies for the management of sarcopenia are required in Asian elderly patients, especially with diabetes.

A Review of Sarcopenia Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, Treatment and Future Direction

TL;DR: Future research should focus on sarcopenia biological pathway and improved diagnostic approaches such as biomarkers for early detection, development of consistently pre-eminent treatment methods for severe sarc Openia patients, and establishing sensitive measures for predicting sarcopenian treatment response.

Mapping ongoing nutrition intervention trials in muscle, sarcopenia, and cachexia: a scoping review of future research

TL;DR: Although many trials have similar type of interventions, methodological heterogeneity may challenge study comparisons, and future meta‐analyses aiming to provide evidence‐based recommendations may benefit from guidelines for the assessment of therapeutic effects of nutrition interventions.

The effect of different exercise programs on sarcopenia criteria in older people: A systematic review of systematic reviews with meta-analysis.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors compared the results of different modalities of physical exercises on the sarcopenia diagnostic criteria in older people, and compared results of resistance training interventions (RTA) with other than resistance (Non-resistance Training interventions: NRTA).

Specific lysophosphatidylcholine and acylcarnitine related to sarcopenia and its components in older men

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors measured the concentrations of amino acids, carnitine, acylcarnitines, and lysophosphatidylcholines (LPCs) in serum samples from a cross-sectional study of 246 Chinese older men, using targeted metabolomics.

Eating Speed Is Associated with the Presence of Sarcopenia in Older Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Cross-Sectional Study of the KAMOGAWA-DM Cohort

TL;DR: Having a slow eating speed is associated with a heightened risk of sarcopenia in older patients with T2D, and patients with a sloweating speed had greater prevalence of low skeletal muscle mass, low muscle strength, and sarc Openia than those with a fast or normal eating speed.
