The bidirectional relationship between diabetes and poor muscle function in older adults: data from two population-based studies

These findings demonstrate an independent circular relationship between diabetes and skeletal muscle strength. In older people, muscle dysfunction may be a long-term diabetes complication. Whether increasing muscle strength might reduce diabetes risk remains to be determined.

Abstract

These findings demonstrate an independent circular relationship between diabetes and skeletal muscle strength. In older people, muscle dysfunction may be a long-term diabetes complication. Whether increasing muscle strength might reduce diabetes risk remains to be determined.
