The cross-sectional area of erector spinae muscle and the liver-to-spleen ratio are associated with frailty in older patients with diabetes: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background Older patients with diabetes mellitus are more susceptible to frailty. Although some imaging markers of appendicular skeletal muscle mass obtained using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry or computed tomography (CT) imaging can reflect frailty status, the association between imagin...
