The correlation between PTH, Vitamin D and bone mineral density in elderly man with type 2-diabetes / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the impact of calciotropic hormones,such as parathyroid hormone (PTH)and vitamin D,on bone mineral density(BMD)in the old men with type 2-Diabetes.Methods Sixty elderly men with type 2-Diabetes were submitted to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to evaluate the BMD at lumbar spine and hip.Fasting blood samples were collected to evaluate the indexes of bone metablism and blood glucose.PTH and 25-(OH)-Vitamin D3 were measured and analyzed for their correlation with BMD at different sites.Results In all patients,the percentage of osteoporosis and osteopenia accounted for 20.0％ and 53.3％ of the patients according to BMD at lumbar or hip.Compared with the patient group with normal BMD,serum PTH was significantly higher in the patient group with osteopenia or osteoporsis([44.87 ± 10.62]μg/L vs[36.96 ±12.36]μg/L,P ＜ 0.05 ;[50.24 ± 20.32]μg/L vs[36.96 ± 12.36]μg/L,P ＜ 0.05).But there was no difference in 25-(OH)-Vitamin D3 levels between all groups.PTH was correlated negatively with BMD at hip (r =-0.224,P ＜ 0.05),but not significantly correlated with BMD at lumbar(r =-0.187,P ＞ 0.05)Conclusions Serum PTH was correlated negatively with BMD at hip in elderly man with type 2-Diabetes.
