“…All persons who had been included in the Health 2000 Survey sample and had not refused further contacts were re-invited 11 years later. Details of the design and implementation of the Health 2000 Survey and its follow-up have been reported elsewhere [22, 23]. The original Health 2000 Survey was based on 2-stage stratified cluster sample comprising 8,028 adults aged 30 years or older (of which 3,392 were 55 years and older), living in mainland Finland either in the community or in an institution.…”

Of them 5,903 participated in the follow-up 11 years later (73% participation rate) [23]. For the present study, the target population were participants who were 55 years or older, had information on type 2 diabetes and handgrip strength measured at baseline ( n = 2,792).…”

Background: Long-term associations between type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and muscle strength are obscure in older adults. The aim of this study was to examine type 2 diabetes as a predictor of handgrip strength decline during an 11-year follow-up among men and women aged 55 years. Methods: We used Finnish population-based Health 2000 Survey and its follow-up measurements in 2011. The study population consisted of 1,200 individuals, aged 55–86 years at baseline. Baseline fasting glucose level or use of diabetes medication was used to categorize the participants into diabetes (≥7.0 mmol/L), prediabetes (≥6.1 mmol/L but <7.0 mmol/L), and nondiabetes (<6.1 mmol/L) groups. Handgrip strength was measured at baseline and during 11-year follow-up. Results: Mean handgrip strength at baseline did not differ between diabetes groups in men or women. Among men during the 11-year follow-up, decline in muscle strength was significantly greater among diabetes group (−131.5 Newtons [N], 95% confidence interval (CI) −182.7 to −80.4) than nondiabetes group (−98.9 N, 95% CI −139.5 to −58.3) after adjusting for age, education, lifestyle factors, chronic conditions, and diabetes status at follow-up. Among women, muscle strength decline did not differ between diabetes, prediabetes, or nondiabetes groups after adjusting for all potential covariates, the results being −45.0 N (95% CI −73.2 to −16.7), −29.4 N (95% CI −59.7 to 0.9), and −42.3 N (95% CI −70.5 to −14.1), respectively. Conclusions: The presence of type 2 diabetes was associated with greater muscle strength decline among older men but not among older women.
