Brief Summary

Frailty is a multideterminant syndrome in which muscle function appears to play a central role. Muscle function depends on brain control, nutrition and perfusion. We hypothesized that multiparametric MRI assessment combined with comprehensive gerontological assessment (CGA) and routine biological assessment of inflammation in a sample of older people with and without diabetes will allow to explore on one side the possibilities of multi-parametric MRI muscle and brain imaging to describe the correlates of frailty and on the other side will describe the different muscle/brain alterations due to diabetes in frailty. The main objective is to compare the lipid percent of the rectus femoris in frail and pre-frail older subjects and in non-frail older subjects.

    day 1

Study Arms (2)

Frail/prefrail

EXPERIMENTAL

Fried's criteria \>3 = frail, 1 or 2 = prefrail The 5 Fried criteria mainly target the muscle function: low muscle strength, decreased physical activity and low gait speed. One refers to depressive symptoms with the use of 2 CES-D (Centre for Epidemiologic Studies - Depression Scale) questions and one to nutrition with the weight loss criteria. The second most famous definition of frailty was developed by ROCKWOOD and MITNISIKI (2). It describes frailty as the accumulation of deficits including cognitive, functional and social alterations

Diagnostic Test: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)

non frail

Interventions
