Midlife and late-life diabetes and sarcopenia in a general older Japanese population: The Hisayama Study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

To investigate the association between midlife or late-life diabetes and the development of sarcopenia in an older Japanese population.

Materials and methods

A total of 824 Japanese residents aged 65 to 84 years without sarcopenia were followed up from 2012 to 2017. Sarcopenia was determined following the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia definition. The time of diabetes diagnosis was classified as midlife or late-life diabetes by the age at first diagnosis of diabetes (< 65 or ≥ 65 years) based on annual health checkups data over the past 24 years. The duration of diabetes was categorized into three groups of < 10, 10-15, and > 15 years. The odds ratios of incident sarcopenia according to the diabetic status were estimated using a logistic regression anal
