Prevalence of Osteoporosis and Its Associated Factors among Older Men with Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract: This study investigated the prevalence of osteoporosis and its associated factors in old men with T2DM to identify risk factors for low BMD. We enrolled 93 old men (≥60 years of age) with T2DM and 125 healthy old men (controls) and collected data of their lifestyle, medical history, bone densitometry, body weight, height, and blood pressure. Blood samples were collected for biochemical analyses. Urine samples were collected to determine 24 h urinary creatinine, albumin, and protein. Although no differences in … Show more

“…Comparable results were found in other studies using QUS [ 49 ] and DXA [ 50 ]. However, the prevalence of osteoporosis in the present study was lower than other studies of Asian populations [ 51 , 52 ] and other western country [ 53 ]. On the other hand, the overall prevalence of osteoporosis in this study was higher than those reported in several other studies in different countries, using either DXA [ 54 , 55 ] or QUS [ 56 , 10 ].…”

“… 3 Osteoporosis is characterised by deterioration of the microstructure of bone, specifically at trabecular sites, which leads to pain, deformity, disability and possibly death. 4 , 5 A variety of factors contribute to the development of osteoporosis, such as genetic variants, gender, steroid production, age, lifestyle and environment. 6 - 8 Additionally, low calcium intake, cigarette-smoking and intake of excessive alcohol may be secondary causes.…”

“… 6 - 8 Additionally, low calcium intake, cigarette-smoking and intake of excessive alcohol may be secondary causes. 4 , 9 Generally, osteoporosis is considered a silent disease because it is asymptomatic until a fracture occurs. Recently, the treatment of osteoporosis has been mainly pharmaceutical, but treatment may not be satisfactory due to its time-consuming nature and high cost, as well as the side effects of the drugs.…”
