Increased bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVESStudies of bone mineral density (BMD) in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus have shown conflicting results. We conducted this study to determine whether postmenopausal women with diabetes have higher BMD than non-diabetic women of similar age, and to investigate the relationship between BMD and relevant clinical characteristics in these groups of women.PATIENTS AND METHODSWe retrospectively analyzed lumbar spine, femoral neck, and radius BMD data and other relevant clinical data for 1… Show more

“…Bone mineral density (BMD) is a good predictor of bone strength because fracture risk is increased with a decrease in BMD [2,3]. BMD was decreased in patients with type 1 diabetes [4], but patients with type 2 diabetes had decreased [5], normal [4] or increased [6] BMD. Unlike patients with type 1 diabetes, the relationship between BMD and fracture risk in patients with type 2 diabetes has not been clear.…”
