Long-Term Changes in Sarcopenia and Body Composition in Diabetes Patients with and without Charcot Osteoarthropathy

Table 1

Subject demographics: baseline values and changes at follow-up after 8.6 years in diabetes patients without (DM-COA) or with (DM+COA) a previous Charcot foot. Data expressed as . Truncal, android, and gynoid body fat percentages are all calculated relative to total fat mass while body fat percentage is calculated relative to total soft tissue mass. aLM is appendicular lean mass. values compare the changes at follow-up between the two groups. : significant changes from baseline ().
