While both conditions have been individually associated with increased mortality, limited evidence exists regarding their combined effect, and no prior systematic review has synthesized this association specifically among older adults with T2DM. This study aims to examine the association between sarcopenia and all-cause mortality in older adults with T2DM. It seeks to evaluate whether this relationship varies by population characteristics, sarcopenia definitions, and follow-up duration.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We will conduct a comprehensive literature search using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and Embase to identify studies exploring the relationship between sarcopenia and all-cause mortality in older adults with T2DM from January 1, 2014, to September 1, 2024. Two authors will independently screen all eligible clinical studies. Statistical analyses will be conducted using JBI SUMARI software.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Preliminary findings will indicate the overall prevalence and mortality rate among older adults with sarcopenia and T2DM.
