Participants included obese T2DM patients over 40 years, excluding those with conditions like malignancies or chronic diseases. The diagnosis of sarcopenia was made based on the recommendations of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS). Key assessments involved demographic data, metabolic and physical evaluations, and the use of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to categorize physical activity levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data from 151 patients revealed a mean age of 57.2 \u00b1 8.4 years, with an overall prevalence of sarcopenic obesity (SO) at 44%.
