Abstract:Background and Aim: Sarcopenia is prevalent in older patients and increases the risk for negative outcomes during hospitalization and after hospital discharge. In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) this association may be even worse. Upon hospital admission, it is often difficult to identify sarcopenia, so the objective of this study was to assess whether the subjective global assessment (SGA), the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) and Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutritio… Show more
“…Another approach was assessing the association of malnutrition with sarcopenia in subjects with T2DM by exploiting different definitions of malnutrition, essentially based on anthropometric, phenotypic, and etiological parameters [36]. Specifically, the guidelines considered for the assessment of malnutrition were those of the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) and those of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM).…”

Sarcopenia has been defined as a progressive and generalized loss of muscle mass that can be observed after the age of 40 years, with a rate of deterioration of about 8% every ten years up to 70 years, and 15–25% thereafter [...]

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
