Combined association of skeletal muscle mass and grip strength with cardiovascular diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes

Appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) and grip strength (GS) have been suggested to be related to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), but their association with type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains unclear. Therefore, we examined the combined association of ASM and GS with the prevalence of CVD in patients with T2D.A total of 1230 patients with T2D were recruited and divided into four groups based on the sex-specific median values of ASM adjusted for...
