This study aims to assess the prevalence of osteosarcopenia and the effectiveness of phase angle in screening older adults with type 2 diabetes.
Cross-sectional study with 147 older adults aged 60 or older in Thailand.
Osteosarcopenia diagnosed using criteria for sarcopenia and osteoporosis.
Logistic regression analysis identified phase angle and body mass index as predictors.
Osteosarcopenia prevalence was identified in 7.5% of participants.
Phase angle demonstrated strong diagnostic capability with an area under the curve of 0.865.
A phase angle cutoff of less than 4.0 degrees achieved 100% sensitivity and 62.5% specificity.
