Objective: Studies addressing the influence of diabetes mellitus on bone metabolism have yielded conflicting results. The aim of the present study is to investigate the bone mineral density (BMD) status of postmenopausal diabetic women with different ages or diabetes duration.
Methods: Two hundred postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes (DM) and 800 postmenopausal healthy women (PMP), serving as control subjects, were studied.

Vertebral bone mineral density (BMD) measurements by DXA are considered reliable indicators of local fracture risk in the absence of radiographic deformities. The clinical evaluation of one individual vertebra presenting a BMD value significantly less than the others is attempted in this study. For a period of 30 months, BMD measurements of L1-L4 vertebrae and femoral neck (FN) were performed by DXA in 817 postmenopausal women, aged under 65 years, with a BMI less than 33 kg/m(2).
