Assessment of screening tools for diabetic sarcopenia in type 2 diabetes mellitus: evidence from a scoping review

Combining functional questionnaires with objective assessments like ultrasound or biomarkers may offer a more practical solution. Future research should focus on standardizing thresholds and testing tools in diverse populations.
