In this prospective study, they included 610 patients hospitalized between July 2015 and December 2017; of these, 306 (51%) had TD2. Among those with T2D, the mortality rate of 28%. The coexistence of T2D and sarcopenia in older patients was independently correlated with a higher risk of mortality after hospital discharge compared with controls.
