ABSTRACT
AIM:
To assess the effects of thyroid hormones on appendicular skeletal muscle index (SMI) and hand grip strength (HGS) in people with diabetes.METHODS:
This cross-sectional cohort included 1,135 participants with diabetes admitted to 3 hospitals in Japan. Multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the associations among thyroid hormone levels, SMI, and HGS.RESULTS:
Of the 1,135 participants, 480 were female. Their median (interquartile range) age, body mass index, durations of diabetes, and glycated haemoglobin levels were 68 years, 24.3 kg/m2, 10 years, and 7.6 %, respectively. The median (interquartile range) SMI (kg/m2) and hand grip strength of the cohort were 7.1 kg/m2 and 28.2 kg, respectively. Positive correlations between FT3 and the FT3/FT4 ratio with SMI and HGS was observed after adjusting for covariates in males. A negative correlation was found between the FT3/FT4 ratio and sarcopenia as a result of low SMI and low HGS in the male participants but not in females (p for interaction = 0.02).CONCLUSIONS:
FT3/FT4 ratios may impact skeletal muscles in people with diabetes-particularly in males. Assessments of FT3/FT4 ratios may represent key indicators of muscle mass and strength in males.Palavras-chave
