Further investigation of the association between diabetes status and body composition and whether this association is moderated by sex. Reply to Mai Y [letter]

Summary: This study investigates the association between body composition and type 2 diabetes, and examines whether this association is influenced by sex. The results show that women and men with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes have higher levels of body fat and lean mass compared to those with normal glucose metabolism. Sex differences exist in body composition, and further research is needed to understand the significance of these differences.
