Condition of bone tissue in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus of Buryat population

Abstract

BACKGRAUND: In most countries, there is a rapid increase in the population of patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Bone changes in postmenopausal women with type 2 DM are associated with increased bone mineral density (BMD). The study of metabolic processes in bone tissue in comorbid pathology in different ethnic groups is continuing. AIMS: To study the concentration of markers of bone remodeling and indicators of BMD in postmenopausal women with type 2 DM of the Buryat population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-nine postmenopausal women with type 2 DM (22 - Russian population and 17 - Buryat population) were examined. The comparison group consisted of 42 postmenopausal women (21 - Russian population and 21 - Buryat population). The study of BMD in the lumbar spine (L1-L4), the femoral neck (Neck), and the proximal femur (Total hip) was performed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Parameters of osteocalcin (OC), type 1 N-terminal procollagen propeptide (P1NP), C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (β-Cross laps), 25(OH) Vitamin D and ionized calcium were evaluated. RESULTS: The presented study revealed a simultaneous increase in osteosynthesis: OC (p=0.048) and P1NP (p=0.016) and in the bone resorption marker β-Cross laps (p=0.020) accompanied by the absence of changes in BMD in women with type 2 DM in the postmenopausal period of the Buryat population relative to women with type 2 DM in the postmenopausal state of the Russian population. A decrease in osteosynthesis parameters (OC, p=0.021; P1NP, p=0.029) with an increase in BMD L1-L4 (p=0.024) and BMD Total hip (p=0.039) in postmenopausal women with type 2 DM of the Buryat population was found relative to the women of the Buryat population in comparison group. CONCLUSIONS: The state of bone tissue in postmenopausal women with type 2 DM of the Buryat population is characterized by the activation of bone remodeling processes.
