Measurement of bone mineral density in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

摘要

AIM:To investigate into the changes in bone mineral density(BMD)in patients with Type 2diabetes mellitus.METHODS:BMD of lumbar ver-tebrae 2-4and femur in 63cases of patients with type 2diabetes mel-litus were measured with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA)and were compared with age,sex and BMI-m atched normal control group.RESULTS:No significant differences were fou nd in BMD of lumbar vertebrae 2-4in female of menopause with Type 2diabetes mellitus(P>0.05),but BMD of total were lower than that of the controls(P0.05).CONCLUSION:BMD of Type 2diabetes mellitus is dif ferent according to different sex,BMD of female of menop ause with type 2diabetes mellitus were descended easily,especially i n areas of neck BMD,it should cause to pay attention to in order to prevent p athologic bone fracture;BMD of male of 50years old above with Type 2diabetes mellitus have no the obvious changes than that of the controls.
