In people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the association between nutrition, sarcopenia, and osteoporosis has rarely been explored.
The relationship between nutritional status and bone mass has been observed in different populations, including individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and end-stage renal disease.
Assess the associations among nutrition, bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition in patients with T2DM.
A total of 689 patients with T2DM were included to perform a retrospective analysis. The general information and biochemical indices of these patients were statistically analyzed.
Those who had a high Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) tended to be younger and had lower HbA1c, higher BMD at all bone sites, and higher appendicular skeletal muscle index.
Poor nutrition, as indicated by a low GNRI, was associated with low levels of ASMI and BMD at all bone sites in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
We used a retrospective study to explore the association between nutrition, sarcopenia, and osteoporosis in patients with T2DM.
