Body composition was assessed using dual-energy X-ray-absorptiometry (DXA) among 1105 patients with type 2 diabetes (120 patients with newly diagnosed DFD [DFD duration less than 3 months]). Severity of DFD was assessed, referring to foot ulcers, Wagner grade and the percentage of amputation. Skeletal muscle index (SMI) was calculated, and sarcopenia was defined as SMI less than 7.0\u2009kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> (in men) or 5.4\u2009kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> (in women). SMI was significantly decreased in patients with DFD compared to patients without (6.79\u2009\u00b1\u20091.20 vs. 7.21\u2009\u00b1\u20091.05\u2009kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The percentage of sarcopenia in DFD patients was more than double than those without DFD (35.3% vs. 16.4%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that sarcopenia was independently associated with DFD (OR 2.05[95% CI 1.15,3.89], <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.027) after controlling confounders including age, diabetic duration and diabetic chronic complications. In DFD group, patients with sarcopenia exhibited more foot ulcers, higher Wagner grade and greater percentage of amputation compared to patients without sarcopenia. We conclude that sarcopenia is independently associated with DFD. Worse prognosis is seen in patients with DFD accompanied by sarcopenia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-017-08972-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,10]],"date-time":"2017-08-10T10:47:01Z","timestamp":1502362021000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Sarcopenia is independently associated with diabetic foot disease"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Qingfeng","family":"Cheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinbo","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ping","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xueting","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xuefeng","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qin","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhiping","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shumin","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richa","family":"Goswami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yue","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ting","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kun","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qifu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"8972_CR1","unstructured":"In Diabetic Foot Problems: Prevention and Management National Institute for Health and Care Excellence: Clinical Guidelines (2015)."},{"key":"8972_CR2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"297","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213-8587(16)00051-6","volume":"4","author":"Z Xu","year":"2016","unstructured":"Xu, Z. & Ran, X.
