Perirenalfat thickness is associated with bone turnover markers and bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objectives: Emerging evidence demonstrated that perirenal fat may modulate bone metabolism through several pathological pathways. This study was aimed to assess the associations between perirenal fat thickness (PrFT) and bone turnover markers (BTMs) and bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and further explore the correlation between PrFT and osteoporosis.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 626 participants with complete data were enrolled in this study.
