Background: Diabetes is a growing public health problem with the increasing obesity prevalence, and aging world population. Many comorbidities, frailty, and deteriorations in both quality of life and the health status of these patients are associated with a compound outcome of increased body mass index, aging and sarcopenia. Sarcopenia has particular importance, since it is both a cause and an outcome in these patients. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the sarcopenia frequency, and to determine the independent predictors of sarcopenia in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Patients between 18 to 65 years of age that followed-up at the Endocrinology Department of Istanbul Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Education and Research Hospital with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus were evaluated retrospectively. Results: A total of 86 patients (F/M 60/26) with a mean age of 52.9±12.4 years were included. Fifty-four patients (62.8%) had sarcopenia (70% of females and 46.2% of males; p=0.040), and albumin levels were significantly higher in those patients (p=0.037). Multivariate analyses revealed that females (OR: 3.9; p=0.020), and increased BMI (OR: 1.1 per unit increase; p=0.040), albumin (OR: 2.7 per unit increase; p=0.028) and LDL (OR: 1.02 per unit increase; p=0.016), and decreased Tg (OR: 1.01 per unit decrease; p=0.004) levels were independent determinants of sarcopenia. Conclusion: Results of this current study confirmed the previous knowledge on the subject, moreover contributes to the available evidence with reporting the increased albumin as a novel risk factor for the sarcopenia.

Introduction

Excessive muscle loss and associated functional deteriorations are defined as sarcopenia [1]. Muscle loss is related with many diseases, but it can occur naturally due to aging, which is associated with deteriorated muscle functions. Under physiologic conditions, approximately 1% of the total muscle mass losses each year after 30 years-of-age [2]. With recent modifications, sarcopenia definition now includes decreased walking speed and grip strength along with the decreased muscle mass [3-5].

Current literature suggests that diabetics have an increased risk for development of sarcopenia [6]. Previous research on this topic has provided evidence about the effects of diabetes on muscle mass [7, 8]. Particularly for the patients with type 1 diabetes, insulin deprivation is the major stimulant for the increased catabolism of skeletal muscles [9, 10]. Despite the fact that the mechanism in type 2 diabetes is not so apparent like this, previous cross-sectional studies found that older diabetic adults have altered body composition and low skeletal muscle strength, and lost their knee extensor strength more rapidly than their non-diabetic counterparts [11]. Also, multivariate analyses assessing the associations between diabetes and sarcopenia controlling for the body-mass index (BMI) revealed that the difference between diabetics and non-diabetics regarding muscle density was significantly attenuated after adjustment for the BMI, which suggests that the fat density in the muscle mass was an important factor for the muscle dysfunctionality [12]. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of sarcopenia in diabetic patients and evaluating the independent risk factors in sarcopenia.

Material and methods

This study was conducted at the Endocrinology Department of Istanbul Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Education and Research Hospital. Patients with Type-2 diabetes between 18 to 65 years of age were searched from the patient records retrospectively. Demographic data including age and sex; anthropometric evaluations including height, weight and body mass index (BMI); and, laboratory analyses including routine biochemistry, complete blood count, 25-OH-vitamin D levels, neutrophil/ lymphocyte and platelet/lymphocyte ratios, and hemoglobin

A1c levels were recorded from the patient files. Cases below 18 years of age and older than 65 years of age were not included in the analyses.

Sarcopenia was diagnosed in patients according to the definitions of The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP).

Statistical Analysis

Descriptive data were presented as frequency and percent for categorical variables, and mean and standard deviation for numerical variables. Comparisons of data between patients with and without sarcopenia were performed with Mann-Whitney U test, and Chi-Square test for numerical and categorical variables, respectively. Independent predictors of sarcopenia were evaluated by a logistic regression model, and Omnibus test and Hosmer-Lemeshow tests were used to evaluate the model fit. A p value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. All analyses were performed with SPSS 21 (IBM Inc., Armonk, NY, USA).

Results

A total of 86 patients (F/M 60/26) with a mean age of 52.9±12.4 years were evaluated retrospectively. The comparisons of demographic, anthropometric, and laboratory analyses between males and females revealed that ages of patients were similar, but metabolic ages were significantly lower in males (p=0.009). Males were taller (p<0.001), and had lower BMIs than females (p=0.017). Laboratory analyses revealed that TSH (p=0.004), fT4 (p=0.011), urea (p=0.003), uric acid (p=0.044), and creatinine (p<0.001) levels were higher in males. All other parameters were found to be similar between sexes (Table1).

The measurements regarding muscle mass revealed that 54 patients (62.8%) had sarcopenia. For the sex distribution, 70% of females had sarcopenia, whereas this was 46.2% for males, and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.040). Comparisons of other demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, and laboratory analyses between patients with and without sarcopenia revealed that only albumin levels were significantly higher in sarcopenia group (p=0.037) (Table 2).

The independent determinants of sarcopenia were evaluated by a stepwise logistic regression model, with the possible prognostic factors from univariate analyses including sex, age, BMI, albumin, LDL, HDL, TG, TSH, 25-OH-and VitD3. Final model revealed that females (OR: 3.9; p=0.020), and increased BMI (OR: 1.1 per unit increase; p=0.040), albumin (OR: 2.7 per unit increase; p=0.028) and LDL (OR: 1.02 per unit increase; p=0.016), and decreased Tg (OR: 1.01 per unit decrease; p=0.004) levels were independent determinants of sarcopenia. The final model was found to be valid and fit (Omnibus test p<0.05; Hosmer-Lemeshow test p>0.05) (Table 3).

Discussion

In parallel to the increasing obesity prevalence and aging of the world population, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is also increasing progressively. The Turkish Statistical Institute released the population statistics of 2016 recently, and reported that the proportion of population over 65 years is 8.3% in Turkey [13]. Another recent report by this institution was the recent health survey of Turkey in 2016, which revealed that the obesity prevalence is 19.6% over 15 years of age (23.9% for women, and 15.2% for men) [14].

of Health reported that the prevalence of diabetes mellitus over 15 years of age was 9.1% (10.9% for females, and 7.1% for males) [15]. As can be seen from these figures, obesity and type 2 diabetes possess a significant health burden in Turkey, as in the rest of the World. The consequences of combination of aging, obesity, and diabetes may be debilitating for the patients. Some of these are deteriorated quality of life, decreased mobility, and increased rates of comorbidities associated with these health problems including sarcopenia. In this study, we have evaluated the independent determinants of sarcopenia in patients with diabetes, which is important for identification of preventive measures, particularly prior to the onset of the disease.

With the recent modifications in the definition of the sarcopenia, now it includes the decreased muscle mass, and the decreased strength and functionality [16]. Historically, aging-related functional deteriorations were thought to be associated with significantly decreased muscle mass, but research on the topic showed that functional decline is much more related with loss in muscle strength than the muscle mass [17]. These physiological changes may be monitored by routine evaluation methods including clinical and biochemical assessments, and may be accounted as independent determinants of sarcopenia. Our analyses for evaluating this hypothesis revealed that diabetic patients with sarcopenia were predominantly female, and had elevated albumin levels in the univariate analyses. Muscle loss with increasing age is more pronounced for males in the literature. For the situations like aging and/or other diseases, testosterone deficiency is more associated with a catabolic response, which also plays a major role for sarcopenia [18]. On the other hand, estrogen deficiency was found to be more related with sarcopenia particularly in postmenopausal women [17]. In our study, we have not evaluated if the women were pre- or post-menopausal, but our analyses revealed the female predominance in the sarcopenia group. This may also be associated with the nutritional status, obesity or body fat composition, and mobility and exercise status of the patients.

Secondly, we found that albumin levels were increased in patients with sarcopenia. The albumin levels in elderly patients are commonly measured for the assessment of nutritional status or disease severity [19]. The current evidence suggests that serum albumin levels may decrease in stress conditions, renal diseases, liver diseases, inflammation and following surgical interventions [20, 21]. Since it is biologically plausible for using this biomarker for assessment of muscle mass, the literature data

and currently available evidence do not suggest its utilization for this purpose [22]. Nevertheless, previous studies showed a decline in albumin levels in conditions with muscle loss. This is contradictory to our results that showed that patients with sarcopenia had elevated levels of albumin levels. But, despite the statistical significance between the albumin levels of patients with and without sarcopenia, the difference was not clinically meaningful.

The multivariate analyses for evaluating the independent determinants of sarcopenia showed that female gender, increased BMI, albumin, and LDL levels, and decreased triglyceride levels were associated with increased sarcopenia risk. BMI and increased fat levels were found to be associated with the muscle loss and sarcopenia in previous studies. Our patients were all diabetics, and diabetes itself is known as a major risk factor for functional disability, obesity, and immobility. The body fat composition significantly changes in these patients, and possess a risk for the muscle loss. Another mechanism is the insulin resistance, which also increases with aging, and defective insulin signaling can lead to reduced muscle synthesis and functioning [23]. Moreover, these patients are prone to increased oxidative stress, and this may also an underlying mechanism of the development of sarcopenia [24]. Other contributors of sarcopenia in this patient group may include sex hormone changes, [25] IGF-1 status [26], and aging-related functional loss in neuronal network and impaired re-innervation [27]. According to our results, elevated cholesterol levels and increased BMI are significant contributors to sarcopenia. But increased albumin levels as a risk factor is a striking finding, which has not been reported previously, and should be confirmed in prospective studies.

Conclusion

Results of this current study confirmed the previous knowledge on the subject, moreover contributes to the available evidence with reporting the increased albumin as a novel risk factor for the sarcopenia.

The major limitation of this study is the retrospective design, which constrains us to make further conclusions. Thus, our striking finding of albumin as a potential risk factor of sarcopenia in diabetic patients should need confirmation in prospective studies with large sample sizes.
