Abstract

Background: Diabetes is one of the biggest health problems worldwide where the disease affects almost all organ systems. The relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and bone mineral density (BMD) has been controversial. Some show increased, decreased and others show no change in BMD among type 2 diabetics. Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of T2DM on BMD among diabetic patients in Zagazig University Hospitals. Also, evaluation of the effect of other factors like menopause, age and gender that may interfere with DM on BMD.
Materials and methods: A case control study that was conducted on 90 individuals. Their ages ranged between 40 and 70 years and consisted of 60 diabetic and 30 nondiabetic subjects. BMD was measured using DEXA scan and the data were compared among age-matched subjects of both groups.
Results: BMD was significantly decreased among diabetic patients matched to those who are non-diabetics. Also, the incidence of osteopenia and osteoporosis was higher among diabetic patients. On further analysis of date the highest percent of abnormal BMD (osteopenia and osteoporosis) was among diabetic postmenopausal female cases. Conclusion: Type 2 DM negatively affect the bone strength through affection of BMD. Hence, all type 2 diabetics should be evaluated for the risk of osteoporosis and should be offered appropriate preventive measures.
