Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the geometric parameters of the femur in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) without osteoporosis.Materials and methods: There were examined totally 97 type 2 diabetic females. We included in our study 60 type 2 diabetic females without osteoporosis (T-score more than – 2.5 in axial skeleton), age: 56.9(53.8–60.9) yrs., duration of DM: 6.5(5–11.5)yrs., HbA1c: 8.6(6.9–10.1)%, BMI:...

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the bone mineral density, hip geometry parameters and bone quality, measured by trabecular bone score (TBS) in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).Materials and methods: We examined 97 patients with T1DM (28 males, 69 females, age: 31 (24.9−37.7) yrs., duration of DM: 11 (7−19.5) yrs., HbA1c: 8.6 (7.1−10) %, BMI: 23.1 (21.9−25.7) kg/m2). The control group consist...

Background and aims: According to the risk factors study for noncommunicable diseases STEPS 2016, carried out under the auspices of the World Health Organization, in 2016–17 years 60.6% Belarusians had overweight (BMI > 25 kg/m2); 25.4% had obese (BMI > 30 kg/m2), and the proportion of women with obesity (30.2%) was 1.5 times higher than men (20.2%). Thus, the project aim was to develop a methodology for group non-drug treatment of overweigh...

Objective: In the early manifestation of type 1 diabetes (T1D) the process of bone mineralization is disrupted and the peak of bone mass is initially lower than in healthy individuals. In addition to low mineralization T1D may be a risk factor for a smaller bone size including the hip axis length (HAL). The aim of this study is to assess the HAL in women with T1D.Materials and methods: We examined 68 T1D women, age: 31(25–37.6)yrs., duration of diab...

The aim of study: Is to assess the frequency of occurrence of vertebral fractures (VFx) and their relationship with hip geometric parameters in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) postmenopausal women.Materials and methods: We examined 94 T2DM women, age: 59.6(55.1–63.2)yrs., duration of DM: 7(4.5–11)yrs., duration of menopause 8.5(4–13)yrs., HbA1c:7.3(6.6–9.8)%). The comparison group consisted of 89 women without DM (age:58.3 (52.8–...

Research object: Since type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients are at higher fracture risk in comparison to general population the aim of study was to assess, whether femur geometric parameters are connected with Fx in T1D females.Materials and methods: We examined 68 T1D 31 yrs. old (25–37.6) females with disease duration of 11 (7–17) yrs. and the average HbA1c equal to 8.5 (6.9–10.4) %. The control group consisted of 53 healthy age- and BMI-match...

Background and aims: According to modern researchers, in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the presence of diabetic osteopathy and an increasing fracture risk is evident. However, the determination of bone mineral density only is not enough to adequately assess the quality of the bone. Thus, the aim of the study was to study of the lumbar spine trabecular bone score as qualitative bone characteristic in T1DM men.Materials and methods: 52 males with T1...
