Diabetes mellitus (DM) cases are increasing worldwide, especially in Saudi Arabia. Previous studies suggested a positive relationship between body mass index (BMI) and bone mineral density (BMD) levels. Generally, patients with low BMI (<18.5 kg/m2) have reduced BMD levels and, thus, low T-scores; hence, they are categorized as osteopenic or osteoporotic. In this study, we aimed to determine whether a relationship between BMI and BMD T-scores in the hip and spine regions of patients with diabetes exists. This retrospective record review investigated older adult patients with diabetes in King Abdulaziz University Hospital (n=198; age 50–90 years) who underwent BMD scan between January 1, 2016, and June 25, 2018, regardless of their sex but limited to type 2 DM. The height and weight of all subjects were recorded, and BMI was calculated and categorized. We used SPSS version 21 for data analysis; measures of central tendencies, Pearson’s correlations, chi-square tests, and independent t-tests were employed. We found positive relationships between BMI and BMD T-scores in the hip and spine regions (right femoral neck: R=+0.214, P≤0.002; total right hip: R=+0.912, P≤0.001; left femoral neck: R=+0.939, P≤0.001; total left hip: R=+0.885, P≤0.001; and total lumbar region: R=+0.607, P≤0.001). Low BMI (<18.5 kg/m2) could be a risk factor for osteoporosis, whereas normal/high BMI could be protective against osteoporosis among adults with diabetes.

BACKGROUND Menopause is defined as the permanent cessation of menstruation following loss of ovarian activity. One of the most important problems associated with menopause is osteoporosis. This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between bone mineral density, body mass index, age, serum calcium, and serum magnesium in 120 women. METHODS Present study was an observational study done from Feb 2017 to July 2017 in Pt. J.N.M. Medical College to evaluate the relationship of bone mineral density with age, body mass index (BMI), obesity and serum magnesium in 120 postmenopausal women. A detailed medical, obstetrical, menstrual, and drug history was recorded in a proforma designed for the study. Past fracture history, family history of fracture and osteoporosis, socioeconomic status, occupation, educational level and weightbearing exercises were collected and recorded. RESULTS Average age of women with normal bone health was 30.5 + 0.58 years, while the age of osteopenic and osteoporotic women was 43.11 + 6.79 years and 54.64 + 11.92 years respectively. Most of the osteopenic women belonged to the age group of 40 – 49 years. Osteoporotic patients (78.57 %) had a high (> 0.85) waist-hip ratio, while women with normal bone mineral density had a normal waist-hip ratio. Most of the women with normal bone mineral density (100 %), osteopenia (85.29 %) and osteoporosis (57.14 %) had normal serum magnesium levels. CONCLUSIONS We found that the bone mineral density reduced with advancing age, decreasing BMI and obesity, while we found no correlation of serum magnesium level with bone mineral density (BMD).

Objective.Although several studies have investigated the association between body mass index (BMI) and bone mineral density (BMD), the results are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to further investigate the relation between BMI, weight and BMD in an Iranian men population.Methods.A total of 230 men 50-79 years old were examined. All men underwent a standard BMD scans of hip (total hip, femoral neck, trochanter, and femoral shaft) and lumbar vertebrae (L2-L4) using a Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scan and examination of body size. Participants were categorised in two BMI group: normal weight <25.0 kg/m2and overweight and obese, BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2.Results.Compared to men with BMI ≥ 25, the age-adjusted odds ratio of osteopenia was 2.2 (95% CI 0.85, 5.93) and for osteoporosis was 4.4 (1.51, 12.87) for men with BMI < 25. It was noted that BMI and weight was associated with a high BMD, compatible with a diagnosis of osteoporosis.Conclusions.These data indicate that both BMI and weight are associated with BMD of hip and vertebrae and overweight and obesity decreased the risk for osteoporosis. The results of this study highlight the need for osteoporosis prevention strategies in elderly men as well as postmenopausal women.

Background: Osteoporosis is a common health problem that affects postmenopausal females, leading to increased susceptibility to fractures. Body mass index (BMI) has been shown to be an important predictor of bone mineral density (BMD) with increased body weight correlating with positive influence on bone metabolism. Low BMI predisposes postmenopausal females to rapid bone loss and low bone mass, crucial in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. However, a specific BMI value chart to accurately predict osteoporosis remains to be fully established. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship of BMI and BMD in postmenopausal Indian females.Methods: 90 healthy postmenopausal females with 1-5 years of menopause were enrolled in the study. Subjects were categorized according to their BMI into normal, overweight and obese. BMD was assessed using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan at L1-L4 vertebrae and femoral neck and expressed as T-scores. Quantitative variables were compared using ANOVA/Kruskal Wallis Test.Results: Bone mineral density was significantly higher in the obese group as compared to normal BMI group at both lumbar spine (p=0.001) and femoral neck (p=0.001). BMD at lumbar spine was lower than that at femoral neck across all the three groups of BMI.Conclusions: BMI and body weight are important factors affecting BMD. Postmenopausal females with low BMI are more likely to have osteopenia and osteoporosis and are thus at an increased risk of pathological fractures. Routine BMD monitoring in postmenopausal females with low BMI may be necessary to initiate early clinical interventions for osteoporosis.
