Diabetes as a Potential Contributor to Dynapenia in Community-Dwelling Older Adults in Japan: Sex- and Age-Specific Cross-Sectional Findings From the Integrated Research Initiative for Living Well With Dementia Cohort Study.
Key Points
This research examines the link between diabetes and dynapenia in older adults, focusing on variations by sex and age.
Utilized a cross-sectional study design
Analyzed data from the Integrated Research Initiative for Living Well With Dementia cohort
Investigated sex-specific and age-specific patterns of dynapenia associated with diabetes
Diabetes showed a significant association with dynapenia in community-dwelling older adults
Identified distinct patterns of this association based on sex and age
Younger-old men and older-old women in particular may require targeted interventions
Abstract
Diabetes was associated with dynapenia, with distinct patterns by sex and age. Targeted strategies may be needed for younger-old men and older-old women with diabetes.
