Abstract

Objective: To describe the osteoporosis status in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes treated at the Endocrinology Department, Thai Nguyen National Hospital, and identify factors related to osteoporosis in this patient group. Methods and Subjects: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with purposive sampling, including all patients visiting the Endocrinology Department, Thai Nguyen Central Hospital, meeting the selection and exclusion criteria from March 2024 to September 2024. A total of 142 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes were included. Osteoporosis diagnosis was based on bone mineral density (BMD) measurements using the Dexa method at two sites. Data were entered using Epidata 3.1 and analyzed with SPSS 25. Results: Patients aged 70 and older had a higher rate of osteoporosis compared to those aged 60-69. Female patients and those with a lean body type showed higher osteoporosis rates. BMD results indicated a significantly higher osteoporosis rate in the lumbar spine compared to the femoral neck (54.2% vs. 2.8%). The overall osteoporosis rate was 54.2%.Conclusion: Among elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, the osteoporosis rate is high. Factors related to osteoporosis include gender and body mass index.
