Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a theory-based home-based multi-component exercise training works to prevent sarcopenia in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It will also learn about the safety of the theory-based home-based multi-component exercise training. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Whether a 12-week theory-based home-based MCE program is effective in decreasing the risk of developing sarcopenia, as well as improving physical activity, glycaemic control, muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance, cognitive function, depressive mood, and quality of life among the Chinese community-dwelling older patients with T2DM.
- What are the underlying mechanisms of the exercise intervention. Researchers will compare the MCE program to a waiting list control group to see if the MCE program works to prevent sarcopenia. Participants will: · Take a MCE program or a waiting list for 6 months

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
the risk of developing sarcopenia
The change of the scores of Strength, Assistance with Walking, Rise from a Chair, Climb Stairs and Falls (SARC-F) or Assistance with Walking, Rise from a Chair, Climb Stairs and Falls, Calf Circumference (SARC-CalF) or calf circumference (CC) among older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus during the intervention period and follow-up period. The SARC-F consists of 5 items, which total scores ≥4 points can be judged as patients with high risk of developing sarcopenia. The total scores of SARC-CalF range from 0 to 20, with total scores ≥11 points indicating patients with high risk of developing sarcopenia. AWGS 2019 recommends CC \<34cm for males and CC \<33cm for females to indicate a high risk of developing sarcopenia among Asian populations.
baseline, 3 months, 6 months
the level of physical activity
The change of the scores of physical activity scale for the elderly (PASE) among older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus during the intervention period and follow-up period. This scale comprises 10 items across three dimensions: leisure, housework, and occupational physical activity. The total scores range from 0 to 500, with higher total scores indicating higher physical activity among the older adults.

Interventions
The participants in the intervention group will receive a 12-week theory-based home-based MCE program, which consists of three phases: exercise mobilization phase, exercise preparation phase (exercise instructions and exercise plan determination), and home-based autonomous exercise training. Structured guidelines have been developed for the intervention by the research team. This allowed interveners to deliver the intervention in a structured way with the same dosage.
