Objective To investigate the risk factors of osteoporosis in type 2 diabetic patients and to provide the guidance for the further treatment. Methods One hundred and fifty-seven type 2 diabetic patients (79 males and 78 females) were enrolled in the study, including 74 cases complicated with osteoporosis and 83 cases without osteoporosis. The clinical data (age, sex, BMI, and course of disease) and laboratory parameters (Ca, P, ALP, FBG, HbAlc, mAlb, SCr, LDL-C, HDL-C, 25(OH)D, Tc, and Tg) were compared between the two groups. Results The sex, course of disease, BMI, HbAlc, mAlb,SCr, and 25(OH)D were significantly different between patients with osteoporosis and without osteoporosis (P<0. 05). However, Ca, P, ALP, FBG, Tg,Tc, HDL-C, and LDL-C were not different between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis revealed that longer course of disease, higher HBAlc, lower 25( OH)D, and lower BMI were correlated with osteoporosis. Conclusion The influential factors of osteoporosis in type 2 diabetic patients are course of disease, HBAlc, 25(OH)D, and BMI. |
