Al-Taie A, Arueyingho O, Khoshnaw J, Hafeez A. Clinical outcomes of multidimensional association of type 2 diabetes mellitus, COVID-19 and sarcopenia: an algorithm and scoping systematic evaluation. Arch Physiol Biochem 2024; 130:342-360. [PMID: 35704400 DOI: 10.1080/13813455.2022.2086265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Revised: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to provide a scoping and comprehensive review for the clinical outcomes from the cross-link of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), COVID-19, and sarcopenia. METHODS By using PRISMA guidelines and searching through different databases that could provide findings of evidence on the association of T2DM, COVID-19, and sarcopenia. RESULTS Thirty-three studies reported a relationship between sarcopenia with T2DM, twenty-one studies reported the prognosis COVID-19 in patients with T2DM, ten studies reported the prognosis of COVID-19 in patients with sarcopenia, five studies discussed the outcomes of sarcopenia in patients with COVID-19, and one study reported sarcopenia outcomes in the presence of T2DM and COVID-19. CONCLUSION There is an obvious multidimensional relationship between T2DM, COVID-19 and sarcopenia which can cause prejudicial effects, poor prognosis, prolonged hospitalisation, lowered quality of life and a higher mortality rate during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and insufficient insulin secretion. Sarcopenia, as a new complication of diabetes, is characterized by the loss of muscle mass and the progressive decline of muscle strength and function in T2DM patients, which has a serious impact on the physical and mental health of patients. Insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction, and chronic inflammation are common mechanisms of diabetes and sarcopenia. Reasonable exercise training, nutrition supplement, and drug intervention may improve the quality of life of patients with diabetes combined with sarcopenia. This article reviews the relevant factors and management measures of sarcopenia in T2DM patients, in order to achieve early detection, diagnosis, and intervention.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have shown that the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has increased significantly over the years. However, the risk factors for the association of sarcopenia in patients with T2DM are unknown. Therefore, we attempted to investigate the risk factors through measurement and analysis of the patients' data from April 2020 to April 2022. Methods A total of 334 hospitalized patients with T2DM were divided into sarcopenia group (n=101) and non-sarcopenia group (n=233). Clinical factors were compared between the two groups and also between the two genders. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to analyze the ROC diagnostic ability of related factors in sarcopenia. Results (1) Among the 334 patients, the overall prevalence of sarcopenia was 30.2%; 41.3% in men and 20.1% in women. (2) The multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that gender (specifically for men; OR=4.997, 95% CI: 2.611-9.564), low body mass index (BMI) (OR=1.525, 95% CI: 1.353-1.718), lower 25(OH)D levels (OR=1.076, 95% CI:1.036-1.117), and lower IGF-1 (OR=1.013, 95% CI:1.006-1.020) were independent risk factors (P < 0.05). (3) ROC curve analysis results showed that BMI, 25 (OH) D, IGF-1, and testosterone (for men) had predictive significance for sarcopenia with T2DM (P < 0.05). However, the AUC of 25 (OH) D, IGF-1 and testosterone (for men) were all <0.7, while the AUC of BMI and the combined factors were all >0.7, has great predictive significance. Conclusion The prevalence of sarcopenia in hospitalized patients with T2DM is higher in men than in women. Low BMI and lower serum levels of 25 (OH) D and IGF-1 are risk factors of sarcopenia in patients with T2DM. Low BMI, 25(OH)D, IGF-1, and testosterone (for men) all contributed to the prediction of sarcopenia, among which BMI and combined factors were more significant.

Sci Rep 2023; 13:21265. [PMID: 38040786 PMCID: PMC10692120 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-47463-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023] Open
Abstract
There is a lack of scoring system to predict the occurrence of cirrhosis in individuals with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) in the absence of cirrhosis. The goal of this study was to develop a psoas muscle index (PMI)-based nomogram for cirrhosis risk in non-cirrhotic patients with HBV-related ACLF. We included 274 non-cirrhotic HBV-ACLF patients who were randomly assigned to training and validation groups. Logistic analyses were performed to identify risk factors for cirrhosis. A nomogram was then constructed. The predictive performance of the nomogram was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). During the 360-day follow-up, 44.5% (122/274) of non-cirrhotic HBV-ACLF patients developed cirrhosis. A higher PMI at the L3 level was correlated with a decreased risk of long-term cirrhosis occurrence (OR 0.677, 95% CI 0.518-0.885, P = 0.004). The nomogram incorporating PMI, age, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and international normalized ratio (INR), indicated satisfactory predictive performance for cirrhosis risk stratification in ACLF population. The nomograms had an AUROC of 0.812 (95% CI 0.747-0.866) and 0.824 (95% CI 0.730-0.896) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The calibration curves displayed excellent predictive accuracy of the nomogram in both sets. In both cohorts, the DCA verified the nomogram's clinical efficacy. In non-cirrhotic HBV-ACLF patients, a greater PMI appears to protect against long-term cirrhosis occurrence. Strong predictive performance has been demonstrated by PMI-based nomograms in assessing the likelihood of 1-year cirrhosis in those with HBV-ACLF.

Abstract
Background/Aims This study aimed to investigate whether pretransplant frailty can predict postoperative morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation (LT) in patients with cirrhosis. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 242 patients who underwent LT between 2018 and 2020 at a tertiary hospital in Korea. Results Among them, 189 patients (78.1%) received LT from a living donor. Physical frailty at baseline was assessed by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), by which patients were categorized into two groups: frail (SPPB <10) and non-frail (SPPB ≥10). Among the whole cohort (age, 55.0±9.2 years; male, 165 [68.2%]), 182 patients were classified as non-frail and 60 patients were classified as frail. Posttransplant survival was shorter in the frail group than the non-frail group (9.3 months vs 11.6 months). Postoperative intensive care unit stay was longer in the frail group than in the non-frail group (median, 6 days vs 4 days), and the 30-day complication rate was higher in the frail group than in the non-frail group (78.3% vs 59.3%). Frailty was an independent risk factor for posttransplant mortality (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.38; 95% confidence interval, 1.02 to 5.57). In subgroup analysis, frail patients showed lower posttransplant survival regardless of history of hepatocellular carcinoma and donor type. Conclusions Assessment of pretransplant frailty, as measured by SPPB, provides important prognostic information for clinical outcomes in cirrhotic patients undergoing LT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poor muscle function is associated with a negative prognosis in advanced liver disease but the impact in compensated chronic liver disease is unknown. Similar prognostic uncertainty applies to fatigue. We aimed to assess the prognostic value of muscle performance and fatigue in a cohort of patients with compensated chronic liver disease. METHODS We followed 241 patients with compensated chronic liver disease included in a study between 2010 and 2014. Subjects were 52 ± 15 years (mean ± SD; 134 females). All subjects performed four muscle function tests: "Timed Up and Go" test, walking speed, handgrip strength, and standing heel-rises. Fatigue was evaluated by fatigue impact scale. Follow up data was acquired through hospital records and registries. RESULTS During follow up of 6.75 ± 1.4 years, 13 patients died (5.5%) and 11 (4.5%) patients underwent liver transplantation. A timed up and go over 10 s was not significantly associated with a lower survival (Kaplan-Meier, log rank test p = 0.132), or with transplant free survival (p = 0.543), Fig. 3. It was also not specifically associated with liver related causes of death (p = 0.597). The other physical functioning tests and fatigue were not significantly associated with mortality or transplant-free survival (p > 0.05 for all) except for maximal walking speed (2.2 vs. 1.9 m/s, p = 0.007). CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that muscle function and fatigue are not key prognostic factors in compensated chronic liver disease. However, further confirmation in future studies is needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio is correlated with metabolic diseases. The prevalence of sarcopenia is significantly higher in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients compared with healthy controls. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the correlation of TG/HDL-C ratio with muscle mass in T2DM patients. METHOD Our study consists of 1048 T2DM inpatients recruited from the department of endocrinology. Skeletal muscle index (SMI) was detected with a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry method. Low muscle mass was diagnosed using the criteria of SMI less than 7.0 kg/m2 (in male subjects) or 5.4 kg/m2 (in female subjects). RESULT The prevalence of low muscle mass was 20.9% and 14.5% in male and female groups respectively. SMI was correlated with TG/HDL ratio after adjustment for age, duration of diabetes, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and HbA1c in male subgroup. In female subgroup, SMI was associated with TG/HDL ratio after adjustment for age and DBP. CONCLUSION Higher TG/HDL-C ratio is correlated with muscle mass in T2DM patients.

Abstract
Chronic liver disease (CLD), including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its advanced form, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), affects a significant portion of the population worldwide. NAFLD is characterised by fat accumulation in the liver, while NASH is associated with inflammation and liver damage. Osteosarcopenia, which combines muscle and bone mass loss, is an emerging clinical problem in chronic liver disease that is often underappreciated. The reductions in muscle and bone mass share several common pathophysiological pathways; insulin resistance and chronic systemic inflammation are the most crucial predisposing factors and are related to the presence and gravity of NAFLD and to the worsening of the outcome of liver disease. This article explores the relationship between osteosarcopenia and NAFLD/MAFLD, focusing on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of this condition in patients with CLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Sarcopenia and myosteatosis are associated with advanced nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, muscle alterations in early stage NAFLD remain unclear. METHODS Patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) or early nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) without significant fibrosis were selected from a prospective biopsy-proven NAFLD cohort (N = 338). The skeletal muscle index and mean muscle attenuation (MA) were measured using abdominal fat computed tomography at the third lumbar vertebra level. Severe myosteatosis was defined as the lowest quartile of sex-stratified MA values. RESULTS Patients with early NASH (n = 87) had lower MA (45.61 ± 6.45 vs 47.48 ± 5.85 HU; P = .028) than patients with NAFL (n = 251) but a similar skeletal muscle index. Patients with more severe lobular inflammation and hepatocellular ballooning had lower MA (P = .003 and P = .041, respectively). The severe myosteatosis prevalence was higher in early NASH than in NAFL (33.3% vs 21.1%; P = .029). Patients with severe myosteatosis were more likely to have early NASH in multivariable analysis adjusted for age, sex, and metabolic factors (odds ratio, 2.45; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.24-4.86), which was maintained after adjustment for visceral fat amount (odds ratio, 2.44; 95% CI, 1.22-4.89). During a median 29-month follow-up, 170 patients underwent repeated transient elastography. Fibrosis progression-an increase in liver stiffness measurement >2 kPa or second liver stiffness measurement ≥7 kPa-was found in 28 and 31 individuals. Severe myosteatosis was significantly associated with fibrosis progression after adjustment for various confounders (hazard ratio, 2.49; 95% CI, 1.15-5.40 and hazard ratio, 2.09; 95% CI, 1.01-4.34 for different fibrosis progression definitions). CONCLUSIONS Severe myosteatosis is significantly associated with early NASH and fibrosis progression in early stage NAFLD.

Abstract
Background/Aims There are no data regarding the association between sarcopenic obesity status and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and NAFLD-associated liver fibrosis. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between sarcopenic obesity status (sarcopenia only, obesity only, and sarcopenic obesity) and NAFLD and liver fibrosis in Korean adults. Methods In total, 2,191 subjects completed a health checkup program, including abdominal ultrasonography and FibroScan. Subjects were classified into the following four categories: optimal body composition (nonobese and nonsarcopenic), sarcopenia only (nonobese), obesity only (nonsarcopenic), and sarcopenic obesity. Sarcopenic obesity was stratified by the skeletal muscle mass index and body fat using bioelectrical impedance analysis. NAFLD was diagnosed by ultrasonography, and liver fibrosis was assessed using transient elastography in subjects with NAFLD. Results The prevalence of NAFLD and liver fibrosis significantly increased according to the sarcopenic obesity status. In the logistic regression analysis, after adjusting for multiple risk factors, the odds ratio (OR) for the risk of NAFLD was largest in the sarcopenic obesity group (OR, 3.68; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.94 to 4.60), followed by the obesity only (OR, 2.25; 95% CI, 1.67 to 3.03) and sarcopenia only (OR, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.30 to 2.84) groups, when compared with the optimal group. Additionally, liver fibrosis was independently associated with sarcopenic obesity status (OR 4.69, 95% CI 1.95 to 11.29; OR 4.17, 95% CI 1.56 to 11.17; OR 3.80, 95% CI 0.86 to 16.75, respectively). Conclusions These results demonstrated that sarcopenic obesity was independently associated with NAFLD and liver fibrosis and increased the risk of NAFLD and liver fibrosis more than obesity or sarcopenia alone.

Association between ALT/AST and Muscle Mass in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Mediators Inflamm 2022; 2022:9480228. [PMID: 36274973 PMCID: PMC9586803 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9480228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2022] [Revised: 09/19/2022] [Accepted: 10/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase (ALT/AST) ratio is thought to be related to metabolic disorders and insulin resistance. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a high-risk population for low muscle mass. This study was performed to evaluate the association between ALT/AST and muscle mass in subjects with T2DM. Method This cross-sectional study enrolled 1068 subjects (566 males and 502 females) with T2DM. General information, medical history, and blood samples were collected. Skeletal muscle index (SMI) was detected using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Logistic regression analysis was utilized to determine the correlation of ALT/AST and low muscle mass in subjects with T2DM. Multiple linear regression analysis was utilized to evaluate the association between ALT/AST, SMI and other metabolic characteristics. Result Of all subjects, 115 men (20.3%) and 71 women (14.1%) presented low muscle mass. ALT/AST was related to an increased risk for low muscle mass in both genders. Multiple linear regression analysis displayed that SMI was negatively associated with ALT/AST, age, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) in male group. While in female group, SMI was positively associated with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and negatively associated with ALT/AST and age. Furthermore, ALT/AST was associated with age and BMI in both genders. Conclusion ALT/AST was negatively associated with muscle mass in subjects with T2DM.

Abstract
Triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) has been used in healthy individuals as a marker of insulin resistance. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) showed an increased risk of developing low muscle mass compared to control subjects. This study is performed to determine the association of TyG index with the presence of low muscle mass in T2DM patients. This study included 1098 T2DM patients who were recruited from the inpatients in Qilu Hospital (Qingdao). Skeletal muscle index (SMI) was measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Serum triglyceride and fasting plasma glucose were measured and used to calculate TyG index. 119 male subjects (20.2%) had low muscle mass, while 72 female subjects (14.1%) had low muscle mass in T2DM patients. TyG index was correlated with a decreased risk of low muscle mass in both male and female T2DM groups. TyG index was found to be positively correlated with SMI after multivariate adjustment in male subjects. When TyG index was ≤ 9.5, TyG index was positively correlated with SMI. However, when TyG index was > 9.5, there was not a significant association between TyG index and SMI. Moreover, TyG index was not correlated with SMI after multivariate analysis in female subjects. However, TyG index was positively correlated with SMI when TyG index was ≤ 9. When TyG index was > 9, TyG index was negatively correlated with SMI, however, the correlation was not statistically significant. TyG index is inversely correlated with the presence of low muscle mass in T2DM patients.

Abstract
CONTEXT The prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with diabetes is 3 times higher than that in patients without diabetes and is associated with a poor prognosis. OBJECTIVE To investigate the global pooled prevalence and risk factors of sarcopenia in patients with diabetes. DATA SOURCES Relevant studies published until November 30, 2020, were identified from the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, WanFang, CNKI, VIP, and CBM databases. STUDY SELECTION Participants with age ≥ 18 years with clinically diagnosed diabetes. Sex and diabetes type were not restricted. DATA EXTRACTION The data were extracted by 2 reviewers independently using a standard data collection form. DATA SYNTHESIS The pooled prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with diabetes was 18% (95% CI, 16-20); subgroup analysis showed that sarcopenia was more prevalent in males than in females, as well as being more prevalent in Asia than in South America and Oceania. Age (odds ratio [OR], 1.10), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (OR = 1.16), visceral fat area (VFA) (OR = 1.03), diabetic nephropathy (OR = 2.54), duration of diabetes (OR = 1.06), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (OR = 1.33) were risk factors for sarcopenia in patients with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Sarcopenia was more prevalent in patients with diabetes. Age, HbA1c, VFA, diabetic nephropathy, duration of diabetes, and hs-CRP were the probable risk factors. In the future, medical staff should not only pay attention to the early screening of sarcopenia in high-risk groups, but also provide information on its prevention.

Abstract
An extensive body of the literature shows a strong interrelationship between the pathogenic pathways of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and sarcopenia through the muscle-liver-adipose tissue axis. NAFLD is one of the leading causes of chronic liver diseases (CLD) affecting more than one-quarter of the general population worldwide. The disease severity spectrum ranges from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis, and its complications: end-stage chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. Sarcopenia, defined as a progressive loss of the skeletal muscle mass, reduces physical performances, is associated with metabolic dysfunction and, possibly, has a causative role in NAFLD pathogenesis. Muscle mass is a key determinant of the whole-body insulin-mediated glucose metabolism and impacts fatty liver oxidation and energy homeostasis. These mechanisms drive the accumulation of ectopic fat both in the liver (steatosis, fatty liver) and in the muscle (myosteatosis). Myosteatosis rather than the muscle mass per se, seems to be closely associated with the severity of the liver injury. Sarcopenic obesity is a recently described entity which associates both sarcopenia and obesity and may trigger worse clinical outcomes including hepatic fibrosis progression and musculoskeletal disabilities. Furthermore, the muscle-liver-adipose tissue axis has a pivotal role in changes of the body composition, resulting in a distinct clinical phenotype that enables the identification of the "sarcopenic NAFLD phenotype." This review aims to bring some light into the complex relationship between sarcopenia and NAFLD and critically discuss the key mechanisms linking NAFLD to sarcopenia, as well as some of the clinical consequences associated with the coexistence of these two entities: the impact of body composition phenotypes on muscle morphology, the concept of sarcopenic obesity, the relationship between sarcopenia and the severity of the liver damage and finally, the future directions and the existing gaps in the knowledge.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia was a frequent chronic complication in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and previous evidence showed conflicting results regarding the prevalence and risk factors of sarcopenia in T2DM. In the current study, we aimed at systematically exploring the prevalence and risk factors of sarcopenia in patients with T2DM. METHODS PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were systematically searched to identify observational studies which investigated the prevalence and risk factors of sarcopenia in patients with T2DM. The quality of individual included studies was evaluated using The Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Pooled effects regarding prevalence and associated factors were calculated using random-effects models. The potential publication bias was assessed via funnel plot and Egger test. RESULTS Twenty-eight studies involving 16,800 patients were included in our meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with T2DM was 18% (95% CI 0.15-0.22; I2 = 97.4%). The pooled results showed that elder age (OR 4.73; 95% CI 4.30-5.19; I2 = 85.6%), male gender, chronic hyperglycemia (higher HbA1c) (OR 1.16; 95% CI 1.05-2.47; I2 = 99.2%) and osteoporosis (OR 1.16; 95% CI 1.05-2.47; I2 = 99.2%) was predictors for sarcopenia, whereas patients with lower BMI (OR 1.16; 95% CI 1.05-2.47; I2 = 99.2%) and metformin administrations (OR 1.16; 95% CI 1.05-2.47; I2 = 99.2%) were not prone to get sarcopenia. The funnel plot and statistical tests showed no obvious publication bias. CONCLUSIONS Sarcopenia was frequent in T2DM patients. Elder age, male gender and chronic hyperglycemia, Osteoporosis were significant risk factors for Sarcopenia. Lower BMI and metformin administrations were associated with lower risk of sarcopenia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in all or nonobese patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) and compared it with age- and gender-matched controls. Also, we assessed the effect of variables at diagnosis on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in all or nonobese AAV patients. METHODS In this study, 173 AAV patients and 344 controls were included and MetS was defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adults Treatment Panel III criteria. The obesity based on body mass index (BMI) was defined as BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2. The follow-up duration was defined as the period from diagnosis to the last visit or to each poor outcome occurrence. RESULTS The median age of AAV patients was 58.7 years and 57 patients were men. The prevalence of MetS was 50.9% in all AAV patients and 46.5% in nonobese AAV patients, which were significantly higher than 37.8% in all controls and 28.2% in nonobese controls. In Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Mets at diagnosis significantly reduced the cumulative CVD-free survival rate in both all and nonobese AAV patients. In the multivariable Cox hazards model analysis, CVD during follow-up was significantly associated with both Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS) (HR 1.159) and MetS at diagnosis (HR 9.036) in nonobese AAV patients. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of MetS at diagnosis in all or nonobese AAV patients was significantly higher than those in all or nonobese controls. Furthermore, both BVAS and MetS at diagnosis increased the risk of CVD in nonobese AAV patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIM Anthropometric data are associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) development and progression. We investigated whether the quantity and quality of muscle and visceral fat assessed by computed tomography (CT) are associated with fibrosis severity in NAFLD. METHODS In a prospective biopsy-confirmed NAFLD cohort of 521 patients, we measured skeletal muscle index (SMI), muscle attenuation (MA) and visceral adipose tissue index (VATI) via CT. Low skeletal muscle mass (LSMM) was defined using previously validated cut-offs. Myosteatosis and visceral adiposity were defined as the lowest and highest quartile, respectively. Significant fibrosis was defined as F2-F4 in liver histology. RESULTS Patients with significant fibrosis had lower SMI and MA and higher VATI than those without. The significant fibrosis prevalence was significantly higher in subjects with LSMM (45.1% vs 30.8%, P = .005), myosteatosis (46.1% vs 29.7%, P = .001) and visceral adiposity (46.9% vs 29.9%, P = .001) than those without. The significant fibrosis risk increased with increasing numbers of body composition components (24.5%, 35.6%, 53.0% and 72.7% in patients with 0, 1, 2 and 3 components respectively). Multivariable analysis revealed that LSMM (OR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.05-2.84), myosteatosis (OR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.01-2.68) and visceral adiposity (OR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.09-2.83) were independent predictors of significant fibrosis. Subjects with sarcopenia had a higher risk of significant fibrosis (OR, 2.17; 95% CI, 1.03-4.56). CONCLUSION Muscle alterations and visceral adiposity assessed by CT are associated with significant fibrosis in NAFLD. LSMM and myosteatosis have additive values in prediction of significant fibrosis.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represents a major health burden for the elderly population, affecting approximately 25% of people over the age of 65 years. This percentage is expected to increase dramatically in the next decades in relation to the increased longevity of the population observed in recent years. Beyond microvascular and macrovascular complications, sarcopenia has been described as a new diabetes complication in the elderly population. Increasing attention has been paid by researchers and clinicians to this age-related condition—characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass together with the loss of muscle power and function—in individuals with T2DM; this is due to the heavy impact that sarcopenia may have on physical and psychosocial health of diabetic patients, thus affecting their quality of life. The aim of this narrative review is to provide an update on: (1) the risk of sarcopenia in individuals with T2DM, and (2) its association with relevant features of patients with T2DM such as age, gender, body mass index, disease duration, glycemic control, presence of microvascular or macrovascular complications, nutritional status, and glucose-lowering drugs. From a clinical point of view, it is necessary to improve the ability of physicians and dietitians to recognize early sarcopenia and its risk factors in patients with T2DM in order to make appropriate therapeutic approaches able to prevent and treat this condition.
