The reported number can be shown, but its exact outcome or compared groups are unresolved. Its direction cannot be interpreted here.

The confidence interval describes statistical uncertainty under the model, not every possible source of error.

Comparison details unresolved.

The exact outcome or compared groups are not yet fully established. The source needs interpretation before this number can support a conclusion.

BMI (body mass index) (OR: 0.365, 95%CI: 0.236-0.661), exercise (OR: 0.016, 95%CI: 0.001-0.169), female (OR: 0.000, 95%CI: 0.00-0.012), metformin (OR: 0.159, 95%CI: 0.026-0.967) and TSM (trunk skeletal muscle mass) (OR: 0.395, 95%CI: 0.236-0.661) were protective factors for sarcopenia.Sarcopenia in patients with T2DM is associated with increased age, increased TFM and increased FT4 level.
