A review on associated factors and management measures for sarcopenia in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and insufficient insulin secretion. Sarcopenia, as a new complication of diabetes, is characterized by the loss of muscle mass and the progressive decline of muscle strength and function in T2DM patients, which has a serious impact on the physical and mental health of patients. Insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction, and chronic inflammation are common mechanisms of diabetes and sarcopenia.… Show more

Physical activity (PA) has an established role in the promotion of health and fitness and the prevention of disease. Expected overall benefits include reduction of all-cause morbidity and death, weight control, improved quality of life, improved bone health and decreased falls of elderly subjects, , deeper cognition, and reduced risk of depression, anxiety, and sleeplessness. Currently, PA is a mainstay in the management of cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and bone health. Recently, the perception of its role in primary and secondary prevention, interception, and treatment of cancer, however, is also gaining importance. Regular walking, the simplest type of PA, is associated with reduced all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality, and a role in cancer prevention is of increasing interest. Furthermore, PA improves the quality of life of cancer patients, attenuating side effects of chemotherapy, decreasing sarcopenia, increasing fitness, and inhibiting the recurrence and progression of some cancer types. It promotes emotional and psychological benefits in patients, inducing positive changes. While mechanisms, effective levels and useful amount of PA practice are well established in cardiology, they are yet to be fully determined in oncology. Nevertheless, PA is recommended to reduce cancer risk in the general population, and it has been introduced in programs for the prevention of second cancers. In perspective, it will help as integrative therapy in cancer patients and for cancer survivors. The number of beneficial effects in the cancer continuum is highlighted in this review.

Osteoarthritis is associated with high risks of sarcopenia in older populations. Exercise interventions are promising treatments for musculoskeletal impairments in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The purpose of this study was to identify the comparative effects of exercise monotherapy and its adjunct treatments on muscle volume and serum inflammation for older individuals with KOA. A literature search in the electronic databases was comprehensively performed from this study’s inception until April 2024 to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that reported muscle morphology and inflammation outcomes after exercise. The included RCTs were analyzed through a frequentist network meta-analysis (NMA). The standard mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval was estimated for treatment effects on muscle morphology and inflammation biomarkers. The relative effects on each main outcome among all treatment arms were compared using surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) scores. The certainty of evidence (CoE) was assessed by the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations) ranking system. Probable moderators of the treatment efficacy were investigated by network meta-regression analysis. This study included 52 RCTs (4255 patients) for NMA. Among the 27 identified treatment arms, isokinetic training plus physical modality as well as low-load resistance training plus blood-flow restriction yielded the most optimal treatment for inflammation reduction (−1.89; SUCRA = 0.97; CoE = high) and muscle hypertrophy (SMD = 1.28; SUCRA = 0.94; CoE = high). The patient’s age (β = −0.73), the intervention time (β = −0.45), and the follow-up duration (β = −0.47) were identified as significant determinants of treatment efficacy on muscle hypertrophy. Exercise therapy in combination with noninvasive agents exert additional effects on inflammation reduction and muscle hypertrophy compared to its corresponding monotherapies for the KOA population. However, such treatment efficacy is likely moderated by the patient’s age, the intervention time, and the follow-up duration.
