Sarcopenia and frailty in older patients with diabetes mellitus

Abstract: Sarcopenia is defined as age-associated loss of muscle mass and function, and is frequently accompanied by diabetes mellitus (DM) in older adults. Some of the mechanisms of the development of sarcopenia including insulin resistance, chronic inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction are also associated with the pathogenesis of DM. Sarcopenia provides the basis for frailty, which is a state that is highly vulnerable to stressors, and can lead to disability, dependency and mortality, and older DM patients are of… Show more

“…Furthermore, emerging evidence suggests that sarcopenia is associated with many cardiometabolic diseases such as insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease. [3][4][5][6] Although decline in muscle mass is an inevitable process with aging, recent studies suggest that sarcopenia is a modifiable condition, and the rate of decline of muscle mass can be slowed by adopting a healthy lifestyle. The pathophysiology of sarcopenia is multifactorial.…”

“…La sarcopenia acompaña frecuentemente a la diabetes mellitus (9). De hecho, se considera que tanto en el desarrollo de la sarcopenia como en la patogénesis de la diabetes mellitus pueden estar implicados mecanismos similares como la resistencia a la insulina, la inflamación crónica y la disfunción mitocondrial (1).…”

“…Age was also found to be another indicator of the response to the TW regimen. The reason for this is unclear, but aging is associated with a decrease of β-cell function [17][18][19][20] as well as progression of sarcopenia [21]. Thus, it is possible that both impaired insulin secretion and declining muscle insulin sensitivity may partly explain the instability of glucose levels in our patients over 80 years old.…”
