Abstract
|
|
|
To evaluate the influence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus(NIDDM) on bone mineral density(BMD), we measured BMD in 180 female patients with NIDDM using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). BMD was measured in lumbar vertebrae(L2-4).
BMD is slightly higher in the diabetic patients compared with control subjects(p>0.05) and bone loss starts before the onset on menopause. The BMD of postmenopausal women showed a definite decrease with aging and there was about bone loss after
age
55(p<0.05).
In relation to the duration of diabetes, the decrease of BMD for 15 years was 10.0%. BMD was negatively correlated with age and years since menopause(YSM)(r=-0.584, r=-0.470). These results suggest that age and YSM appear to be risk factors for
decrease
BMD in the diabetic patients.
