To analyze the influence of Type 2 diabetes on bone mineral density (BMD) and panoramic radiomorphometry in postmenopausal females, comparing with results from non-diabetic postmenopausal females.
A total of 228 postmenopausal females (mean age: 59.51 ± 11.08 years) were included in this study. Demographics, T scores and Z scores from peripheral dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and mandibular cortical index (MCI) from panoramic radiographs were assessed. Mean comparison between results for diabetics and non-diabetics was carried out with the Student's t-test. In addition, non-parametric correlations between MCI and DXA results were carried out with Spearman's test, at a level of significance of 5%.
Mean Z score values were significantly higher in diabetics than in non-diabetics (p = 0.001). T and Z score values were also significantly correlated with MCI (r = 0.428, p = 0.001, and r = 0.356, p = 0.022, respectively).
Within the limitations of this study, the present results suggest that Type 2 diabetes might increase BMD in postmenopausal females.
分析2型糖尿病对绝经后女性骨密度(BMD)和全景放射形态测量的影响,并与非糖尿病绝经后女性的结果进行比较。
本研究共纳入228名绝经后女性(平均年龄:59.51±11.08岁)。评估了人口统计学数据、外周双能X线吸收法(DXA)的T值和Z值以及全景X线片的下颌骨皮质指数(MCI)。使用学生t检验对糖尿病患者和非糖尿病患者的结果进行均值比较。此外,使用Spearman检验对MCI和DXA结果进行非参数相关性分析,显著性水平为5%。
糖尿病患者的平均Z值显著高于非糖尿病患者(p = 0.001)。T值和Z值也与MCI显著相关(分别为r = 0.428,p = 0.001和r = 0.356,p = 0.022)。
在本研究的局限性内,目前的结果表明2型糖尿病可能会增加绝经后女性的骨密度。
