Bone density, leptin level and other related factors in elder patients with type 2 diabetes
Objective To investigate the changes of bone mineral density (BMD) and the relationship of BMD to serum leptin concentrations
body mass index (BMI)
waist hip ratio (WHR)
estradiol(E

testosterone(T)
biochemical markers of bone turnover as well as other factors in the elderly subjects with Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Methods BMDs of spine were measured by QCT in patients with T2DM (n=53) and health controls (n=40).The relationship of BMD with serum leptin concentrations

were also analyzed. Results The spine BMD values in the T2DM patients were significantly decreased compared with control (P0.05) and the serum leptin levels were significantly higher than controls (P0.05). Serum leptin concentrations was negatively correlated with L

BMD and spine mean BMD in the T2DM patients (r=-0.443,r=-0.373;both P0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that serum leptin concentrations
