To characterize prescribing of glucose-lowering medication annually and to quantify the annual frequency of hypoglycemia among residents in long-term care (LTC) facilities with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with risk of sarcopenia. However, whether glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels are associated with sarcopenia has not reached a consensus. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between diabetes status based on HbA1c levels and sarcopenia indices in comm...
Diabetes self-care may become increasingly challenging as cognition declines. We sought to characterize glycated hemoglobin A (HbA) trajectories, markers of diabetes-related management, health care utilization, and mortality in people with preexisting type 2 diabetes (T2D) with and without dementia and bas...
To examine the effect of aerobic and resistant exercise intervention on inflammaging in middle-aged and older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-1 β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and C-reactive protein (CRP) as biomarkers.
To analyze the effects of a program composed of resistance training and nutritional interventions on functional capacity, maximal strength, and power output after 2 years of follow-up, including 2 periods of 16 weeks of intervention followed by several weeks of intervention cessation in frail patients with...
