Abstract
Background: Diabetes is associated with impairments in muscle mass and quality increasing the risk of sarcopenia. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the odds of sarcopenia and its associated risk factors among Qatari adults (> 18 years), while exploring the modulating effects of health and lifestyle factors.
Methods: Using a case-control design, data from 767 participants (481 cases with diabetes and 286 controls without diabetes) was collected from Qatar Biobank (QBB). Sociodemographic, lifestyle factors including dietary intake, anthropometric and biochemical measures were analyzed. Handgrip strength, Dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and Bio-impedance were used to assess muscle strength, muscle mass and muscle quality, respectively. The risk of sarcopenia was estimated using the European consensus on definition and diagnosis of sarcopenia.
Results: Cases with diabetes were older (55 vs. 36 years; P < 0.001), had higher BMI (31.6 vs. 28.3 kg/m2; P < 0.001), lower cardiorespiratory fitness (50.0% "Moderate" fitness for cases, 62.9% "High" fitness for controls), and consumed less total (59.0 vs. 64.0; P = 0.004) and animal protein (39.0 vs. 42.0; P = 0.001), compared to controls based on a computed score. Participants with diabetes also had lower appendicular lean mass/BMI, handgrip strength, and higher probability of sarcopenia/probable sarcopenia (P < 0.005). Adjusted multiple logistic regression revealed that elevated cardiorespiratory fitness (β = 0.299, 95%CI:0.12-0.74) and blood triglycerides (β = 1.475, 95% CI: 1.024-2.124), as well as being a female (β = 0.086, 95%CI: 0.026-0.288) and having higher BMI (β = 0.908, 95%CI: 0.852-0.967) and ALM/BMI (β = 0.000, 95% CI: 0.000-0.007) are independent predictors (p < 0.05) of sarcopenia risk.
Conclusions: This study highlights the intricate relationship between diabetes and sarcopenia, revealing modifiable risk factors. Individuals with diabetes were found to have a higher likelihood of sarcopenia, which was associated with lower fitness levels and higher blood triglycerides. Protective factors against sarcopenia included being female and having higher BMI and ALM/BMI ratios.
