[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 34835, member: 3"] Greater muscle area is associated with lower risk of diabetes in older women with normal weight, but not in men or overweight women, according to a study involving more than 2,100 older adults. Participants were diabetes-free at baseline. Investigators measured abdominal and thigh muscle area, as well as total body lean mass. They assessed strength via grip and knee extensions. Among the results: • There were 265 (12.2%) cases of diabetes after a median 11.3 years of follow-up. • There was no link between muscle or strength measures and diabetes in adjusted models. • Normal weight women with greater muscle mass were less likely to have diabetes. • Greater muscle predicted lower diabetes risk in normal weight women, and greater risk in overweight and obese women. • There were no significant interactions by BMI category for strength measures or any measures for men.
