Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Backgrounds: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases. The prevalence of osteoporosis increases dramatically with age. Type 2 DM also increases with increasing age, and therefore, diabetes and osteoporosis often coexists in older adults. Hence; we planned the present study for assessing the risk of development of fractures in Diabetic patients. Materials & Methods: The present study involved assessment of risk of development of fractures in Diabetic patients. A total of 100 diabetic subjects with fractures and 100 diabetic subjects without fractures were included in the presents study. Self-framed questionnaire was given to all the subjects for assessing the past clinical and medical history of all the subjects. Blood samples were obtained from all the subjects and various hematological and biochemical parameters were assessed. All the results were compiled in Microsoft excel sheet and were assessed by SPSS software. Results: A total of 200 subjects were assessed in the present study. Significant results were obtained while comparing the mean duration of diabetes among two study groups. Significant higher prevalence of diabetic neuropathy and higher serum alkaline phosphatase levels were observed in diabetic subjects with fractures in comparison with diabetic subjects without fractures. Conclusion: Occurrence of fractures in diabetic patients is more common in the presence of certain risk factors, which includes duration of diabetes, positive history of previous fractures, raised serum alkaline phosphatase values and presence of diabetic neuropathy.
