Objective(s): Last data showed advantages of TBS assessment of bone quality over BMD in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We perform DXA in patients with T2D and calculated 10-year probability of fracture using FRAX® tool.Material and methods: A total of 252 (172 females) T2D patients aged 36 to 86 y.o (mean 61.0±8.8) were examined. BMD was performed in 124 patients (110 females) using DXA (Lunar Prodigy, USA). BMD adjusted for TB...

Objective(s): Vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms can be associated with atherogenic lipid profile. The results of recent studies in different populations are contradictory. The aim of study was to assess serum lipids in women with different vitamin D status carrying various VDR gene variants.Materials and methods: We examined 697 women aged 35 to 55 y.o. (mean 43.4±0.3). Anthropometric parameters (...
