Bone mineral density predictors in long-standing type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Age was a negative independent predictor of BMD in controls (both T1D and T2D controls), but not in patients with diabetes (Table 3 ). Subgroup analysis The presence of diabetic complications T1D patients with diabetes complications (n = 12) had similar lumbar BMD values compared to T1D patients without complications (n = 18) and controls (n = 30), respectively (p = 0.47); however, they tended to have a rather lower femoral neck BMD, but the differences did not reach statistical significance (0.764 g/cm 2 in T1D patients with complications versus 0.858 g/cm 2 in T1D patients without complications versus 0.829 g/cm 2 in matched controls, respectively, p = 0.21).
