Effect of metabolic syndrome in the bone mineral density in elderly male type 2 diabetics / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the impact of metabolic syndrome (MS)in bone mineral density (BMD) in elderly male type 2 diabetics (T2DM). Methods One hundred and fourty cases were divided into MS group and non-MS(NMS)group according to with or without MS. Height,weight were measured, body mass index(BMI) were calculated and the total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)were tested. The bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The differences among these groups were compared and the risk factors for MS were analyzed. Results The MD, BMI, TC,TG in MS group was higher than that in NMS group (P < 0.05 vs. P < 0.01),and HDL-C was lower than NMS group (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that BMD was negatively correlated with age , TG , HDL-C , and was positively correlated with BMI.The results of multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that age ,HDL-C,BMI were independent risk factors for BMD. Conclusion The BMD significantly increases in T2DM with MS.Obesity and low HDL-C have positive effects in bone mass.
