Diet in Elderly With Type 2 Diabetes (SARC-OLD)
Sarcopenia is characterized by progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass which may affect performance. Diabetes can affect muscle cell function, making sarcopenia worse. This is a prospective and interventional study on a elderly population affected by type 2 diabetes mellitus. All subjects, recruited will undergo tests for the diagnosis of sarcopenia according to the EWGSOP2 criteria. All subjects, both sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic, will be introduced to a targeted nutritional program aimed at improving the composition of the diet, in terms of both micro- and macro-nutrients.
