Age-Stratified Associations of Sarcopenic Obesity With Mortality in Type 2 Diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sarcopenic obesity, the coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity, has been linked to adverse health outcomes due to comorbidity. Evidence on the association between sarcopenic obesity and mortality among individuals with Type 2 diabetes remains limited METHODS: Sarcopenic obesity was defined using Japan Working Group on Sarcopenic Obesity criteria. Participants were divided into four groups based on the presence of sarcopenia and obesity. Cox proportional hazards models evaluated the mortality risk. Subgroup analyses were performed by age (40-75 vs. >75 years). Sensitivity analysis was performed by dichotomizing participants into sarcopenic obesity and non-sarcopenic obesity groups.

Results

Of the 799 participants (mean age 68.6 years, 59.3% men), proportions of neit
