Description
Niloufar Abdollahpour and colleagues test in 2026 whether two body-composition readings can signal anaemia risk in women with type 2 diabetes. Anaemia is common in this group and raises disability risk. Bioelectrical impedance gives a phase angle, reflecting cell health and muscle quality, and a water ratio showing how much body water sits outside cells. Records came from 1,381 diabetic women aged 35 to 65 in the MASHAD cohort.
Women with a higher phase angle had lower odds of anaemia and higher haemoglobin levels in adjusted models. A higher outside-cell water ratio pointed the opposite way, matching more anaemia and lower haemoglobin readings. The authors propose both readings as cheap early-warning markers worth adding to diabetes check-ups.
