JCEM: Relationship between Type 2 Diabetes and Changes in Total Hip Bone Area and Bone Density

In a cross-sectional study, researchers found an association between type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and smaller bone area and higher total hip bone mineral density (BMD)

Recently, a research article was published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, an authoritative journal in the field of endocrine and metabolic diseases.

Among the three cohorts, the Swedish Mammography Cohort Clinical Study (SMCC; n=1060), the Prospective Investigation of the Vascular System of the Elderly in Uppsala (PIVUS; n=483) and the Uppsala Adult Male Longitudinal Study In the study (ULSAM; n=203), the researchers repeatedly assessed the subjects’ T2DM status and the total hip area measured by the dual-energy X-ray bone densitometer (DXA), as well as the average BMD over an 8-year period

Changes in total hip bone area and bone density between baseline, follow-up, and evaluation

After meta-analysis, compared with non-T2DM patients, the total hip bone area change in T2DM patients was reduced by 0.

It can be seen that compared with non-T2DM patients, new-onset T2DM patients have a lower degree of expansion of the total hip area
