Objectives: To study the relationship between body composition, bone mineral density and some characteristics in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Subjects and methods: A crosssectional analysis study was carried out on 151 patients with type 2 diabetes, aged 36 - 81, and examined glucose, HbA1c, insulin, and C-peptide by using the Cobas 6000 and Cobas e 601 automated systems from Roche at the Nghean General Friendship Hospital. | Journal of military pharmaco-medicine no7-2018 CHARACTERISTICS OF BONE MINERAL DENSITY, BODY COMPOSITION IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES Ngo Duc Ky*; Doan Van De**; Dang Hong Hoa** SUMMARY Objectives: To study the relationship between body composition, bone mineral density and some characteristics in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Subjects and methods: A crosssectional analysis study was carried out on 151 patients with type 2 diabetes, aged 36 - 81, and examined glucose, HbA1c, insulin, and C-peptide by using the Cobas 6000 and Cobas e 601 automated systems from Roche at the Nghean General Friendship Hospital. Measurement of total body bone density by American Hologram Discovery QDR series 4500A/SL. The HOMA2IR was calculated according to the HOMA Calculator software version of Oxford University (UK). Results: The avarage age of subjects was ± years. Average BMI was ± kg/m². There were no differences in age, BMI, HbA1c and HOMA2 between men and women. Bone mineral density in females ( ± g/cm²) was lower than males ( ± g/cm²). The body fat distribution, as well as total body fat of women were statistically significantly higher than men (p 76 () 75 () BMI (kg/m²) ± ± ± > HbA1c (%) ± ± ± > HOMA2-IR ± ± ± > Age (years) Gender As we all know, type 2 diabetes mostly affects middle-aged people, although the prevalence of daytime disease is much earlier today. On the other hand, type 2 diabetes mellitus is a silent disease. Patients are often diagnosed with high blood glucose levels or have had complications of diabetes > mellitus. The mean age of the study group was ± years, the youngest was 36 years old and the oldest was 81 years old. The mean age of the study was similar to that of other Asian studies [6] but was higher in some studies [4, 5]. This .
