- Abstract
Theoretically, because skeletal muscle is an important organ of insulin-mediated glucose metabolism,[13],[14] sarcopenia might exacerbate obesity-associated insulin resistance. Moreover body fat has better predictive validity on the development of the metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease risk than BMI.[46],[47] With aging T2DM patients are prone to have decreased skeletal muscle mass and increased body fat mass.
