Lower body muscle strength, dynapenic obesity and risk of type 2 diabetes -longitudinal results on the chair-stand test from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The chair-stand test is a measure of lower body muscle strength. In a longitudinal study with older adults, we investigated whether results of the five-repetition chair-stand test (CST-5) are associated with incident type 2 diabetes, and whether diabetes risk in obese persons is modified by dynapenia (age-related loss of muscle strength) in the lower limbs.

Methods

We used data of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), a panel study with eight waves carried out between 2004 and 2020 in 28 European countries and Israel mainly in persons aged 50 years or older. Forty-six thousand one hundred nineteen persons (mean age 63.5 years, 44.1% men) with CST-5 data and follow-up data for diabetes were included from wave 2 and waves 4 to 7. The mean fo
