Abstract:
Objective To investigate the association between bone mineral density and visceral adipose tissue/subcutaneous adipose tissue ratio (VAT/SAT) in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods The clinical data of 71 postmenopausal patients with T2DM were collected. Quantitative CT (QCT) was used to measure the volume bone mineral density (vBMD) of lumbar spine L1~L3, and the VAT/SAT. According to the average bone mineral density, patients were divided into normal bone mass group (N group), osteopenia group (T group) and osteoporosis group (O group). Multivariate linear regression was used to analyze the association among VAT/SAT, age, body mass index (BMI), visceral fat, fasting blood glucose, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and L1~L3 vBMD. Results There were significant differences in age, VAT, HOMA-IR, VAT/SAT between N group and O group (P<0.05); and between T group and N group (P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that L1~L3 vBMD was negatively correlated with age, FBG, VAT, VAT/SAT (r=-0.446,-0.514,-0.469), and HOMA-IR (P<0.05), but not correlated with BMI. Multivariate linear regression showed that L1~L3 vBMD was negatively correlated with age (β: -0.502,-0.501, -0.438, P<0.05) and VAT/SAT (β: -29.52, -29.56, -21.89, P<0.05). Conclusion VAT/SAT and age are the risk factors of reducing bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with T2DM.
