Abstract
Hyperinsulinemia as an early marker of insulin resistance was associated with the loss of ASM in a cohort study of community-dwelling older men and women subjects without other chronic health conditions. The use of fasting insulin levels >8.4 μU/mL may help clinicians identify individuals in the geriatric population who are at a high risk of loss of appendicular skeletal muscle mass.
