Abstract
Background: Diabetes is reported to accelerate sarcopenia (age-related loss of muscle mass and function). We aimed to assess muscle mass and strength in elderly diabetics, elderly non-diabetics, younger diabetics and healthy subjects, and to define correlates of muscle mass and strength in these subjects.
