Association between serum uric acid and bone mineral density in patients with type 2 diabetes: A 6-year longitudinal study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

The relationship between serum uric acid (UA) and bone mineral density (BMD) has been proposed by several researchers. However, there has been no consensus regarding the relationships among serum UA, diabetes, and BMD. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between UA, BMD, and at least osteopenia in type 2 diabetes patients.This research was a longitudinal study performed at Xiao-Tang-Shan Hospital in Beijing. Type 2 diabetes diagnosis was consistent with the WHO standard classification. Participants with osteopenia or osteoporosis documented by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry were defined as having "at least osteopenia." A generalized additive model and multivariable logistic regressions were performed to explore the relationship between serum UA and at
