In those 60 years or older, sarcopenia was not independently associated with increased CRP in either obese individuals (CRP ratio 1.052, 95% CI 0.991 to 1.111, p = 0.1) or in non-obese older adults (CRP ratio 1.00, 95% CI 0.92 to 1.08, p = 0.99), mirroring the pattern of sarcopenia associations with pre-diabetes and diabetes. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and diabetes mellitus.
