Impact of Eating Speed on Muscle Mass in Older Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Prospective Study of KAMOGAWA-DM Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Maintenance of muscle mass is important for sarcopenia prevention. However, the effect of eating speed, especially fast, normal, or slow speed, on muscle mass changes remains unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this prospective study was to investigate the effect of eating speed on muscle mass changes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

Methods

This study included 284 patients with T2DM. Based on a self-reported questionnaire, participants were classified into three groups: fast-, normal-, and slow-speed eating. Muscle mass was assessed using a multifrequency impedance body composition analyzer, and skeletal muscle mass (SMI) decrease (kg/m²/year) was defined as [baseline SMI (kg/m²)-follow-up SMI (kg/m²)] ÷ follow-up
