ABSTRACT

Objective to explore the relationship between glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), hemoglobin (Hb) and bone mineral density in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods 154 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the inpatient department of Xi'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected, and their HbA1c was measured. According to the HbA1c level, they were divided into two groups: group A (73 cases with HbA1c < 7.0%) and group B (81 cases with HbA1c≥7.0%). Age, body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin (Hb) and bone mineral density (BMD) were measured respectively. Results There was no statistically significant difference between HbA1c and bone mineral density in elderly T2DM patients in group A (P>0.05), but there was a statistically significant difference between HbA1c and bone mineral density in group B (P<0.05). According to the analysis of related factors of bone mineral density, there was a correlation between bone mineral density and Hb, BMI and age, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). It is discussed that when HbA1c≥7.0% in elderly T2DM patients, the bone density T value obviously decreases, which increases the risk of osteoporosis, and there is a positive correlation between bone density T value and Hb and BMI. The decrease of Hb and BMI may increase the risk of osteoporosis.
