Serum interleukin‐6 levels and bone mineral density at the femoral neck in post‐menopausal women with Type 1 diabetes

Abstract

Although our study had a small sample size, we found that post-menopausal women with Type 1 diabetes mellitus present lower bone mass and higher serum bioactive IL-6 levels than matched healthy controls, but we were unable to find a correlation between these two parameters.
