Abstract: Objective To explore the relationship between sarcopenia and bone mineral density (BMD) in middle-aged and aged men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods All 218 men with T2DM aged over 55 years were selected from the Department of Endocrinology of Xuanwu Hospital. The BMD of lumbar spine and hip, appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM), appendicular fat mass (AFM), appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI), body mass index(BMI) were measured. The association between sarcopenia and osteoporosis was assessed. Results The prevalence of sarcopenia in men aged over 55 years with T2DM was 34.86%. The BMD of the participants in sarcopenia group was significantly lower than that in non-sarcopenia group. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed sarcopenia was an independent risk for osteoporosis in men with T2DM(OR=2.76, 95% CI: 1.20~6.34, P=0.017). Conclusion The sarcopenia is closely related to osteoporosis in middle-aged and aged men with T2DM.

Key words: sarcopenia, type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM), osteoporosis, muscle mass, bone mineral density
