RESUMEN
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationship between geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and osteoporosis (OP) in postmenopausal elderly women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN: A total of 141 postmenopausal elderly women with T2DM was divided into OP and normal bone mineral density (BMD) groups, the differences in GRNI levels between the two groups were compared. According to the tertile levels of GRNI, T2DM were divided into three groups (T1, T2, T3 groups), and the differences in OP prevalence and levels of BMD among the three groups were compared. RESULTS: Among postmenopausal elderly women with T2DM, GNRI levels were lower in the OP group compared to the nor-mal BMD group [(103±5.46) vs. (105±5.46), p<0.05)]. With elevated GNRI levels, the BMD levels of femoral, total hip, total body, and lumbar vertebrae (L) were gradually increased, which were higher in the T3 group than in the T1 group (all p< 0.05). GNRI levels were positively correlated with the BMD levels of femoral, spine, total hip, total body, L1, L2, L3, L4, and L1-L4. GNRI was an independent influencing factor for the occurrence of OP (OR=0.887, 95%CI [0.795,0.988]). The ROC curve showed that the GNRI combined with serum ALP and P levels had a high predictive value for OP, with an area under the curve of 0.725 (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: In postmenopausal elderly women with T2DM, GNRI was independently and positively correlated with BMD levels. GNRI may be a predictor development of OP.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between serum ferritin (SF) and bone turnover markers in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS: Seven hundred and forty-two people with T2DM were selected. Serum bone turnover markers: osteocalcin (OC), type I procollagen N-terminal peptide (PINP), ß-I type collagen carboxy-terminal peptide (ß-CTx), and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-[OH]-D) levels were detected. High SF (HF) was defined as the indicated SF levels above 400 ng/mL in males and more than 150 ng/mL in females. Patients were divided into four groups: T2DM+normal SF (non-HF); T2DM+high SF (HF); T2DM+NAFLD+non-HF; andT2DM+NAFLD+HF. Relationships between SF and bone turnover markers were analyzed. RESULTS: Compared with the T2DM+non-HF group, ß-CTx levels were higher in the T2DM+HFgroup. Compared with the T2DM+NAFLD+non-HF group, ß-CTx levels were increased and 25-(OH)-D levels decreased in the T2DM+NAFLD+HF group (all p < 0.05). SF was positively correlated with ß-CTx [ß = 0.074; 95% CI (0.003, 0.205)] and negatively correlated with 25-(OH)-D [ß=-0.108; 95%CI (-0.006, -0.001)]. Compared with the T2DM+non-HF group, an independent positive correlation was found between ß-CTx and SF in the T2DM+NAFLD+HF group [OR = 1.002; 95% CI (1.001, 1.004)]. Among males, SF was positively correlatedwith ß-CTx [ß = 0.114; 95% CI (0.031, 0.266)]. SF was negatively correlated with 25-(OH)-D levels in both male and female patients [ß=-0.124; 95% CI (0.007,0.001) and ß=-0.168; 95% CI (-0.012, -0.002)]. Among those >50 years of age and postmenopausal females, SF was negatively correlated with 25-(OH)-D levels [ß=-0.117; 95% CI (-0.007, -0.001) and ß=-0.003; 95% CI (-0.013, -0.003)]. CONCLUSION: SF level was positively correlated with ß-CTx in T2DM patients with NAFLD, which may promote bone resorption and increase the risk of bone loss.
