This study examined the accuracy of a direct segmental multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (DSMF-BIA) device (InBody-770) for assessing body composition in older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) compared to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Eighty-four obese/overweight older adults with T2DM underwent both DSMF-BIA and DXA assessments. Bland-Altman plots and intraclass correlation coefficients showed high agreement between DSMF-BIA and DXA for leg lean mass and appendicular skeletal mass index, regardless of gender or 10-week interventions (diet, circuit training, and Empagliflozin). The DSMF-BIA is a reliable method for measuring muscle mass in this population.
