Key Points

This analysis aims to characterize sarcopenic obesity in Japanese individuals with type 2 diabetes, focusing on its prevalence and associated health impacts.
Post hoc cross-sectional analysis of sub-cohort data from the iDIAMOND study.
Included 930 individuals aged 40-75 years, with 527 having type 2 diabetes and 403 without.
Sarcopenic obesity diagnosed using criteria including BMI, grip strength, and muscle mass in accordance with established guidelines.
Sarcopenic obesity was found in 4.9% of participants with type 2 diabetes versus 0.5% in non-diabetes individuals (P < 0.001).
In the type 2 diabetes group, sarcopenic obesity correlated with lower physical quality of life and increased falls.
Multivariate analysis indicated age, high BMI, and reduced physical activity as independent factors associated with sarcopenic obesity.
