Association between Serum Vitamin D3 Levels, Glycemic Control, and Sarcopenia in Elderly Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Retrospective Observational Study
The study highlights the high prevalence of Vitamin D3 deficiency in elderly T2DM patients and its strong negative correlation with glycemic control. Although no significant association was found with sarcopenia, the findings support Vitamin D3 screening in elderly diabetics and call for longitudinal studies to explore causality and therapeutic potential.
