ANDROID and A/G ratio are correlated with sarcopenia among type 2 diabetes patients

Fat distribution plays an important role in impaired glucose tolerance. Android adiposity (ANDROID) and gynoid adiposity (GYNOID) have been proven to be linked with insulin resistance. A higher risk of sarcopenia is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this study, ANDROID, GYNOID, and ANDROID to GYNOID ratios (A/G ratios) were evaluated in T2DM patients to determine if they were associated with sarcopenia.
