Objective Data are limited regarding how body composition is linked to insulin resistance in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We examined the association between body composition and insulin resistance in elderly T2DM patients. Methods The cross-sectional study included 488 Chinese elderly patients wth T2DM. Subjects were classified into four groups based on body composition: normal body composition (NBC), low muscle mass alone (LMM), high body fat alone (HBF), both low muscle mass and high body fat (LMMHBF). Results The percentage of subjects with LMMHBF was 14.5% (11.9% in men and 17.7% in women). Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA2-IR) was higher in the LMMHBF group than in the HBF group (p = 0.045), and was also significantly higher in the LMMHBF or HBF group than in the NBC or LMM group. The HBF group showed the highest body mass index (BMI) of the four groups of different body compositions, and the LMMHBF group showed lower BMI than the HBF group; however, there was no significant difference in BMI or waist to hip ratio (WHR) between the LMMHBF group and the NBC group. The LMMHBF and HBF groups were significantly associated with increased risk of insulin resistance compared to the NBC group, with odds ratios (ORs) of 4.47 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.06–9.68, p < 0.001] and 1.76 (95% CI 1.02–3.02, p = 0.041) respectively, even after the adjustment for covariates. Conclusion In China, though elderly T2DM patients with the body composition of sarcopenic obesity (as defined by coexistence of low muscle mass and high body fat) seemed to have normal body size, they exhibited the most severe degree and the highest risk of insulin resistance.
