Abstract

Objective. To compare lumbar spine and right femoral neck bone mineral density across three groups of adults. Methods. The study included 210 participants, with 70 in each group: type 2 diabetes with chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes without chronic kidney disease, and nondiabetic controls. Bone mineral density was assessed with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results. Mean lumbar spine T-scores were −2.49, −1.69 and −0.75, respectively. Mean right femoral neck T-scores were −1.29, −0.84 and −0.40. The reported overall group comparisons yielded p < 0.001 for lumbar spine T-scores and p = 0.002 for right femoral neck T-scores. The right femoral neck Z-score comparison yielded p = 0.72. Conclusion. In this sample, mean T-scores were lowest in the group with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease at both measured sites. The comparison describes group differences at the time of assessment.
