Aims Sarcopenia has recently been shown to affect quality of life and mortality in patients with diabetes. However, early detection requires an expensive equipment. We hypothesized that the ratio of the creatinine/cystatin (Cre/CysC) could be used as a marker for sarcopenia. Methods We investigated the association between the Cre/CysC ratio and sarcopenia in a cross-sectional study of patients with type 2 diabetes. Skeletal muscle mass (SMM) was estimated by bioelectrical impedance. The skeletal muscle index (SMI) was defined as the …
