Evaluation of bone mineral density and trabecular bone score for diagnosis of osteoporosis in Iranian diabetic patients

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases the risk of bone fractures. Objectives: This study aimed to examine use trabecular score (TBS) and BMD select best diagnostic tool for osteoporosis caused by type diabetes. Patients Methods: One hundred four patients (52 individuals with 52 ones without diabetes) aged at most 50 years were enrolled in a cross-sectional that was conducted dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) images referred Khorshid Al-Zahra hospitals, Isfahan, Iran. Results: Lumbosacral mineral density (BMD) significantly lower diabetic group than control (0.76 versus 0.82, P=0.041). The mean lumbosacral TBS controls (1.24 1.36, P=0.001). Therefore, provided more reliable indicator discriminate between women T2DM. Conclusion: is recommended early diagnosis because its independence from BMD-related parameters. can capture larger portion deterioration T2DM cannot be detected using methods based solely on BMD.
