      Mellitus in Older Adults.

AB  - Medical and technology development have drastically the improved quality of life 
      and, consequently, life expectancy. Nevertheless, the more people who enter the 
      third-age, the more geriatric syndromes expand in the elderly. Sarcopenia and 
      Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are common diseases among the elderly and the 
      literature has extensively studied these two diseases separately. Recent 
      evidence, however, revealed that there is a bidirectional relationship between 
      sarcopenia and T2DM. The aims of the present review were: (1) to present diet and 
      exercise interventions for the management of sarcopenia and T2DM and (2) identify 
      which diet and exercise interventions can be used simultaneously in order to 
      effectively deal with these two disorders. Exercise and a balanced diet are used 
      as effective countermeasures for combating sarcopenia and T2DM in older adults 
      based on their bidirectional relationship. Lifestyle changes such as exercise and 
      a balanced diet seem to play an important role in the remission of the diseases. 
      Results showed that chronic exercise can help towards glycemic regulation as well 
      as decrease the incidence rate of muscle degradation, while diet interventions 
      which focus on protein or amino acids seem to successfully treat both disorders. 
      Despite the fact that there are limited studies that deal with both disorders, it 
      seems that a combined exercise regime (aerobic and resistance) along with protein 
      intake > 1gr/kg/d is the safest strategy to follow in order to manage sarcopenia 
      and T2DM concurrently.
