Impact of Eating Speed on Muscle Mass in Older Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Prospective Study of KAMOGAWA–DM Cohort

Introduction

With increase in the number of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the number of elderly patients with T2DM has also increased worldwide (1). In elderly patients with DM, insulin signals are reduced because of insulin resistance and reduced insulin secretion, leading to increased protein degradation and decreased protein synthesis, ultimately reducing muscle mass (2). Because muscle is a major organ that accounts for 20% of the body's total glucose metabolism (3); muscle mass is very important for patients with T2DM. Loss of muscle mass leads to sarcopenia, which is known to increase the risk of not only cardiovascular disease (4, 5) but also mortality (6–8). Moreover, the prevalence of sarcopenia is high in patients with T2DM (9, 10).

Sarcopenia can be prevented through modifying eating habits. Previous studies have shown that adequate macro– and micronutrients are important for maintaining muscle mass in patients with T2DM (11–13). Eating speed is also important because fast eating is associated with obesity (14), non–alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (15), and T2DM (16); therefore, slow eating speed may be effective for lowering obesity risk. On the contrary, slow eating increases the risk of undernutrition (17). It is because slow speed eating increases anorexigenic gut hormones such as peptide YY and glucagon–like peptide−1 (GLP−1) (18, 19) and diet–induced thermogenesis (20, 21). Additionally, we recently conducted a cross–sectional study and reported that there is an association between slow eating speed and a risk of sarcopenia in elderly patients with T2DM (22). However, it is not clear which eating speed (fast, normal, or slow) is effective for maintaining muscle mass in patients with T2DM. Therefore, we conducted a prospective cohort study with an aim to clarify the effect of various eating speed and changes in muscle mass in older patients with T2DM.

Materials and Methods

Study Participants

The KAMOGAWA–DM cohort study is an ongoing prospective cohort study that began in 2014 (23). This study aimed to clarify the natural clinical history of patients with T2DM. Patients also have chronic diseases other than diabetes such as hypertension and dyslipidemia. Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg and/or taking anti–hypertensive drugs, and dyslipidemia was defined as low–density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥140 mg/dL, triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL and/or taking anti–dyslipidemia drug. This study enrolled diabetes specialty outpatients of university hospital (Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine (KPUM) Hospital, Kyoto, Japan) and city hospital (Kameoka Municipal Hospital, Kameoka, Japan) with written informed consent. This study was performed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the ethics committee of KPUM (No. RBMR–E−466–5). Patients who correctly answered the Brief–Type Self Diet History Questionnaire (BDHQ) between January 2016 and April 2018 were extracted to this study. Patients who had the following criteria were excluded: no T2DM, missing data of eating speed or body impedance analyzer (BIA) parameters, extremely high or low energy intake (>4000 or <600 kcal/day) because of unreliability (24), follow–up duration of <6 months, steroid usage, and no follow–up.

Data Collection

We used a standardized questionnaire to collect data on the duration of T2DM, exercise, and smoking. We defined exercisers as those who performed physical activities at least once a week regularly, and we divided the participants into exercisers and non–exercisers. The questionaries about smoking consisted of a question “ do you smoke?” and the 2 choices, “yes” or “no”. Then, we classified “yes” and ”no” as “smoker”, and “non–smoker”. Medication data, including information on steroids, insulin and sodium glucose cotransporter−2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, were collected from the medical records.

Samples of venous blood were collected from participants after overnight fasting, and levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were measured from these blood samples.

Body Composition Measurement

Evaluation of the body composition of patients was performed by a multifrequency BIA (InBody 720; InBody Japan, Tokyo, Japan), which was reported to correlate well with the results of dual–energy X–ray absorptiometry (DEXA) (25). Body weight (kg) and appendicular muscle mass (kg) were measured, and the body mass index (BMI, kg/m²) and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI, kg/m²) were calculated, which were defined, respectively, as body weight (kg) ÷ height–squared (m²) and appendicular muscle mass (kg) ÷ height–squared (m²). Next, ideal body weight (IBW) was estimated using the following formula: 22 × height–squared (m²) (26). Furthermore, definition of SMI decrease (kg/m²/year), the rate of SMI decrease (%) were follows; [baseline SMI (kg/m²)–follow–up SMI (kg/m²)] ÷ follow–up duration (year) and [SMI decrease (kg/m²/year) ÷ baseline SMI (kg/m²)] × 100. Loss of muscle mass was defined as the rate of SMI decrease (%) ≥0.5%, because it was reported that muscle mass decreases with aging; in particular, the average rate of loss in aged people was 0.5%−1% per year (27).

Assessment of Habitual Food, Nutrient Intake, and Eating Speed

Habitual food intake, nutrient intake, and eating speed were assessed using the BDHQ, which estimated the dietary intake of 58 food and beverage items during the past month. BDHQ is a dietary intake questionnaire for Japanese and has been validated. Previous studies showed that the correlation between BDHQ and semi–weighed dietary records was r = 0.44 to 0.56 (28–31). From the BDHQ, we gathered data on total energy intake (kcal/day), protein intake (g/day), fat intake (g/day), and carbohydrate intake (g/day). Total energy intake (kcal/IBW/day) was calculated as total energy intake (kcal/day) ÷ IBW. Protein intake (% energy), fat intake (% energy), and carbohydrate intake (% energy) were calculated as [protein intake (g/day) × 4 (kcal/g) ÷ total energy intake (kcal/day)] × 100, [fat intake (g/day) × 9 (kcal/g) ÷ total energy intake (kcal/day)] × 100, and [carbohydrate intake (g/day) × 4 (kcal/g) ÷ total energy intake (kcal/day)] × 100, respectively. Alcohol intake was also estimated, and habitual alcohol intake was defined as alcohol intake of >30 g/day for men and >20 g/day for women (32).

The questionaries about eating speed consisted of a question “how fast do you eat?” and the 5 choices, “very fast” “a little fast” “normal” “a little slow” or “very slow”. Then, “very fast”, or “a little fast”, “normal”, and “a little slow” or “very slow” were classified as “fast speed eating”, “normal speed eating”, and “slow speed eating”(15).

Statistical Analysis

Continuous variables are presented as mean (standard deviation [SD]), and categorical variables are presented as number (%). P–value of <0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. The between–group differences were evaluated using one–way analysis of variance and the Tukey–Kramer test or chi–square test. We analyzed patients aged <65 years and patients aged ≥65 years separately because the recommended dietary energy intake varied by age (33).

Multiple regression analyses were performed to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) and assess the effects of eating speed on SMI decrease (kg/m²/year), rate of SMI decrease (%), and logistic regression analyses was also carried out to calculate the OR and 95% CI for eating speed on incident muscle mass loss. Factors of age, sex, HbA1c (%), insulin usage, SGLT2 inhibitor use, smoking, exercise, alcohol consumption, total energy intake (kcal/IBW/day), protein intake (% energy), and BMI, were considered to be independent variables.

In addition, we used the other cutoff levels for loss of muscle mass: SMI decrease of ≥1.2% (34) and 2.0% (35).

All statistical analyses were performed using JMP ver13.2 software (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA).

Results

A total of 523 patients participated in the study; however, 239 participants were excluded for various reasons and 284 participants were finally included in the study (Figure 1).

The participants' characteristics are shown in Table 1. In patients aged <65 years, mean BMI and SMI were 26.6 kg/m² and 7.3 kg/m², respectively. Furthermore, the percentages of patients with fast, normal, and slow eating were 50.5%, 42.9%, and 6.6%, respectively. In patients aged ≥65 years, mean BMI and SMI were 23.8 kg/m² and 6.9 kg/m², respectively, and the proportions of patients with fast, normal, and slow speed eating were 40.4%, 38.3%, and 21.3%.

Table 1. Clinical characteristics of study participants.

In patients aged <65 years, the follow–up duration of the slow–speed eating group was significantly longer than that of the fast– and normal–speed eating groups (p < 0.05), and there were no significant differences in total energy intake and protein intake among the groups. In patients aged ≥65 years, the SMI decrease and the rate of SMI decrease in the slow– and normal–speed eating groups were lower than those in the fast–speed eating group, with significant differences (p < 0.05) (Table 1).

The relationship between eating speed and SMI decrease (kg/m²/year) or rate of SMI decrease (%) adjusted for age, sex, smoking, exercise, alcohol, use of insulin and use of SGLT2 inhibitors is shown in Table 2. In patients aged <65 years, there were no statistically significant differences in SMI decrease or rate of SMI decrease among the groups. On the other hand, in patients aged ≥65 years, SMI decrease of fast eating groups (−0.006 [95% CI −0,014 to 0.003] and rate of SMI decrease of fast eating groups (−1.08 [95% CI −2.52 to 0.36]) were lower than those of slow speed eating after adjusting for covariates, and there were statistically significant differences.

The relationship between eating speed and incident muscle mass loss is presented in Table 3 and Figure 2. In patients aged <65 years, alcohol intake (odds ratio 0.11, [95% CI 0.02 to 0.67], p = 0.016), total energy intake (odds ratio 0.90, [95% CI 0.85 to 0.96], p = 0.002), and protein intake (odds ratio 0.77, [95% CI 0.62 to 0.96], p = 0.019) were considered to have a lower risk of incident muscle mass loss but not in patients aged ≥65 years. Furthermore, the adjusted odds ratios of the incident muscle loss of fast speed eating were 0.42 (95% CI 0.18 to 0.98, p = 0.044) compared with slow speed eating, in patients aged ≥65 years.

In addition, the analysis results using different cutoff levels for muscle mass loss for the rates of SMI decrease of ≥1.2% and ≥2.0% in patients aged ≥65 years are shown in Supplementary Table 1 and Figure 2. The risk of the incident muscle mass loss due to fast speed eating (cutoff point: rate of SMI decrease of ≥1.2%, odds ratio 0.38 [95% CI 0.16 to 0.88], p = 0.024, and cutoff point: rate of SMI decrease of ≥2.0%, odds ratio 0.32 [95% CI 0.13 to 0.81], p = 0.015) was lower than that due to slow speed eating.

Discussion

This prospective study showed that slow–speed eating had the potential to promote SMI decrease and incident muscle mass loss in patients aged ≥65 years with T2DM. Furthermore, alcohol consumption, protein intake and total energy intake were considered low risk factors for muscle mass loss in patients aged <65 years with T2DM.

In general, muscle mass decreases with age (27), and adequate energy and protein intake are important for maintaining muscle mass (12, 13), which aids in sarcopenia prevention. Furthermore, lack of energy leads to a decrease in muscle mass, especially in elderly patients with T2DM (12). In this study, there was a significant difference in muscle mass loss depending on eating speed in patients aged ≥65 years with T2DM, even after adjusting for total energy intake and total protein intake.

Insulin stimulates protein synthesis, and defects in insulin signaling lead to decreased muscle mass (27). By contrast, fast–speed eating can cause elevation in the levels of postprandial blood glucose and FPG (18), which leads to increased insulin secretion and stimulation of protein synthesis. Additionally, slower eating speed and longer chewing time increase diet–induced thermogenesis (20, 21). This can lead to loss of muscle mass while preventing obesity. Furthermore, eating slowly increases anorexigenic gut hormones such as peptide YY and GLP−1 (18, 19). GLP−1 is a hormone that not only decreases appetite and body weight (19) but also maintains muscle mass (36). The reasons for this are thought to be GLP−1's various effects: increasing glucose sensitivity, neogenesis, proliferation, hypertrophy, and transcription of pro–insulin, while reducing apoptosis of beta cells (37–40). Therefore, slow eating speed might have a greater impact on decreasing appetite than on increasing muscle mass. For these reasons, although there were no differences in total energy and protein intakes, muscle mass of patients aged ≥65 years with T2DM decreased in the slow–speed eating group.

In addition, there is a relationship between sarcopenia and swallowing function in elderly people (22), and decreased swallowing function affects the eating speed. Therefore, it is possible that eating speed was slower in patients with reduced muscle mass.

However, this study showed that eating speed did not affect muscle mass loss in patients aged <65 years old. Younger people maintain insulin secretion (41) and anabolic effects (42); therefore, it is possible that muscle mass did not decrease.

The present study also reported that slow–speed eating was related to poor nutrition (17). By contrast, fast eating speed is related to obesity, T2DM, and NAFLD (14–16). The reasons for this may be as follows: slow eating speed leads to lower energy intake (43), but fast eating speed is related to increased energy intake (14, 43, 44). Furthermore, fast speed eating is associated with obesity, reducing energy consumption after meals, phosphorylation of Akt because of postprandial hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia (16). However, in this study, there was no significant difference between eating speed, total energy intake, and protein intake, regardless of age. Previous reports have shown that obese patients with T2DM under–report their food intake (45, 46), and this might have had an effect on total energy and protein intakes.

Alcohol consumption causes an increase in cortisol (47) levels and a decrease in mTOR signaling (48, 49), which leads to muscle mass loss (50). By contrast, alcohol intake may be associated with a lower incidence of frailty (51). Modest alcohol consumption leads to higher serum concentrations of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and testosterone (52, 53). These hormones increase loss of muscle mass (54, 55). In patients aged <65 years, alcohol intake may increase DHEA and testosterone levels and prevent muscle mass loss.

As the number of elderly patients with T2DM increases, the prevalence of sarcopenia also increases. This leads to increased mortality, which is a serious health problem. This study showed that slow–speed eating was associated with muscle mass loss. Therefore, it is important to consider eating speed in elderly patients with T2DM.

This study had some limitations. First, a self–reported questionnaire was used for assessment of eating speed and it was not measured directly. In addition, no clear definition of slow speed eating was showed by using seconds or minutes per specific volume/food type. Thus, there is a possibility that eating speed might have differed from the actual speed of eating. Second, body composition analysis was performed by a BIA for evaluating skeletal muscle mass, although the gold standard method was DEXA. A previous study has reported that BIA underestimated lean mass and overestimates fat mass, compared to DEXA (22). Third, we defined exercises from self–reported questionaries and have not evaluated the actual physical activity by objective criteria such as metabolic equivalents (METs). Fourth, we collected questionnaires only one time at the first time and did not re–evaluate. Lastly, this study included only Japanese patients with T2D; hence, generalization of the results to other groups is still unknown.

Conclusion

Slow–speed eating was associated with muscle mass loss in older patients with T2DM; therefore, close attention needed to the eating speed when treating older patients with T2DM.
