Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well known that obesity, especially visceral fat obesity, is a major contributor to the development and worsening of diabetes. In addition to obesity, it has recently been reported that physical function and muscle mass and strength are more likely to be impaired in patients with diabetes. Patients with diabetics are prone to sarcopenia, a condition in which muscle mass and muscle strength are decreased with age. Furthermore, a condition called sarcopenic obesity, in which fat accumulation is combined with reduced muscle mass and strength, may render diabetes patients particularly susceptible to cardiovascular disease and microvascular complications. Thus, nowadays, there is a need to address this inappropriate body composition in the treatment of diabetes. This Special Issue aims to provide a broad updated spectrum of knowledge on the body composition in patients with diabetes.
