Abstract

Objectives: To investigate vitamin D levels and some related factors in older type 2 diabetic patients with osteoporosis. Subjects and methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study on 70 older type 2 diabetic patients with osteoporosis examined and treated at the National Geriatric Hospital from October 2020 to July 2021. Vitamin D levels were measured using a Cobas 6000 Module e601 (Roche) instrument at the Laboratory department of the National Geriatric Hospital. Results: The average vitamin D concentration of the participants was 49.0 ± 17.3 nmol/l. The rate of vitamin D deficiency was 84.3%. Vitamin D levels in the group of patients who exercised regularly, controlled blood pressure and HbA1c were statistically significantly higher than those who did not exercise, uncontrolled blood pressure and HbA1c (p < 0.05). Vitamin D levels had no statistically significant relationship with age group, gender, body mass index and blood lipid control. Conclusion: The average vitamin D concentration of the study subjects was low. Vitamin D screening tests, exercise regularly, good control of blood pressure and blood glucoseare recommended in older type 2 diabetic patients with osteoporosis.
