The relationship between obesity phenotypes and the changes of bone mineral density and vitamin D receptor in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the correlation between vitamin D receptor gene and bone mass and obesity phenotypes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods 318 patients with type 2 diabetes were chosen as diabetes group,and 50 healthy people were selected as healthy control group.Vitamin D receptor gene Apa Ⅰ type was detected in the two groups.Height,weight and body mass index(BMI)biochemical index,fat content(FM),lean tissue content(LM)and bone mineral density were detected in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.The relationship between vitamin D receptor gene(Apa Ⅰ)polymorphism and BMD and obesity phenotypes in type 2 diabetes was analyzed.Results The VDR gene distribution between the diabetes group and healthy control group showed no signif-icant difference(Z =0.561,P >0.05).The vitamin D receptor genotype in the diabetes group included AA 31 cases (9.7%),Aa type 108 cases(34.0%),aa type 179 cases(56.3%),while the vitamin D receptor genotype in the healthy control group comprised AA 7 cases(9.3%),Aa type 29 cases(38.7%),aa type 39 cases(52.0%).The percentage of AA in both groups was significantly less than that of Aa and aa(χ2 diabetic group =4.127,3.976,all P <0.05;χ2 healthy control group =5.129,4.213,all P <0.05).Proportion of normal bone mass and average bone density in AA,Aa,aa type decreased(χ2 =15.552,P <0.05;F =5.127,P <0.05),the genotype AA was not detec-ted in osteoporosis group.BMI and FM were the highest in AA,which were significantly higher than those of Aa,aa (F =4.319,4.263,all P <0.05).Conclusion Vitamin D receptor gene Apa Ⅰ type polymorphism is related with BMD and obesity in type 2 diabetes mellitus,and it has predictive value on bone mass changes.The increase of BMI and FMmay be beneficial to bone mineral density.
