Relationship between sarcopenia and type 2 diabetes mellitus among adults with prediabetes: evidence from a prospective cohort study
Sarcopenia was associated with increased risk of T2DM in adults with prediabetes. Sarcopenia appears to be a marker for risk of T2DM in people with prediabetes and interventions targeted at preserving and improving muscle health might be another novel potential approach to effectively decelerating prediabetes progression to T2DM.
