肌少症对老年2型糖尿病患者的影响及干预措施

Impact of sarcopenia on elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and interventions

随着增龄和糖尿病病程的进展,老年2型糖尿病患者的骨骼肌数量、质量及功能逐渐下降,可导致肌少症的发生;而发生的肌少症反之会加重糖尿病患者的病情,成为老年2型糖尿病患者不可忽视的新型威胁.因此,在老年2型糖尿病患者中主动防治肌少症至关重要.充足的营养、适量的运动、良好的血糖控制及合理使用降糖药物等联合干预可能会有助于肌少症的防治.

The mass,strength and function of skeletal muscle of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus（T2DM） may gradually decline,along with the increase of age and the progression of diabetes,thus leading to the occurrence of sarcopenia which can also aggravates the condition of T2DM.Therefore,sarcopenia is a new emerging threat of diabetic patients that can not be ignored.In this case,active prevention and treatment of sarcopenia in elderly patients with T2DM is crucial.A inultimodal intervention which includes adequate nutrition,moderate exercise,good glycaemic control and the use of appropriate hypoglycemic medications may contribute to the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia.
