Key clinical point: The sarcopenia index (SI; serum creatinine/serum cystatin C ratio) is significantly associated with the prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D).
Major finding: After adjusting for all confounders, SI was significantly associated with the prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis (adjusted odds ratio 0.95; P = .015).
Study details: The data come from a cross-sectional study of 174 patients with T2D, of which 43.7% were diagnosed with subclinical atherosclerosis.
Disclosures: The study received no specific funding. Some authors declared receiving honoraria, personal fees, r research grants from various sources.
