Abstract
The degree of diabetic osteopenia and serum vitamin D metabolite levels were measured in 168 type 2 (noninsulin-dependent) diabetic patients. Based on six indices obtained by microdensitometry, we found the bone mass in 26.2% of diabetic patients to be clearly decreased and in 11.9% to be severely decreased. Our direct method of analysis of bone mass shows that diabetic osteopenia differs from typical osteoporosis in character. In addition, serum 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D was significantly decreased (P less than 0.01), but 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D were similar to those of controls.Entities:
