Correlation between Blood Lipid Level and Osteoporosis in Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus—A Retrospective Study Based on Inpatients in Beijing, China

Abstract

In older T2DM patients, the effect of blood lipid levels is related to sex. Our study conducted a detailed sex stratification. In addition to seeing the traditional risk factors of OP, such as age, sex, and BMI, we comprehensively analyzed the correlation between the blood glucose level, complications, and blood lipids with OP. HDL-C is a protective factor for OP in both men and women, while LDL-C independently predicts OP in postmenopausal women.
