Cross-sectional analysis reveals body composition imbalances in adults with type 2 diabetes, indicating significant cardiometabolic risks.

This research examines the relationship between visceral fat and lean mass in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 474 adults with T2DM.
Utilized bioelectrical impedance to assess body composition parameters including visceral fat level and skeletal muscle mass.
Performed Pearson and Spearman correlations to analyze relationships between skeletal muscle mass and visceral fat level.
Mean body weight was 78.0 kg, with an average BMI of 31.0 kg/m², indicating obesity.
Skeletal muscle mass was relatively low at 24.6 kg, suggesting an unfavorable fat-to-muscle balance.
No meaningful correlation was found between visceral fat and absolute muscle mass, highlighting disproportionate fat accumulation.

Patange et al. (2026) studied this question.
