dc.description.abstractPurpose Sarcopenia can develop at a younger age as a complication in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study aimed to evaluate the association of sarcopenia with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in non-elderly patients with T1D. Methods This cross-sectional study enrolled 100 patients with T1D, including 50 individuals with DKD and 50 without. Median age of patients was 31 years (25-75th percentile: 24.2-44) and a median duration of T1D was 10.1 years (25-75th percentile: 9-13). Hand grip strength (HGS), skeletal muscle mass index (SMMI) were utilized to assess the presence of sarcopenia. The Sarcopenia Quality of Life (SarQoL) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality questionnaires were used to evaluate the quality of life. Results Sarcopenia was diagnosed in 19 out of 100 patients (19%). The prevalence of sarcopenia was 36% (18 out of 50) in the DKD group and 2% (1 out of 50) in the non-DKD group. Sarcopenia was more prevalent in the DKD group (p < 0.001). Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) levels were a significant predictor of sarcopenia (odds ratio 1.031, 95% CI 1.009-1.058; p = 0.005). The median HGS and SMMI values were lower in the sarcopenia group than in the non-DKD group (p = 0.006 and p = 0.001 respectively). Furthermore, the SarQol scores and sleep quality were lower in the sarcopenia group compered to the non-DKD group (p = 0.018 and p < 0.05, respectively). Conclusions Sarcopenia may occur earlier in non-elderly patients with T1D and DKD, adversely affecting the quality of life. Early screening for sarcopenia should be considered in individuals with DKD.en_US
