- The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of hypothyroidism among hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and its related factors, and to assess the prevalence of macrovascular and microvascular diseases among type 2 diabetes mellitus inpatients with hypothyroidism and euthyroidism. A total of 1662 type 2 diabetes mellitus inpatients hospitalized at the Metabolic Diseases Hospital, Tianjin Medical University from 1 January 2008 to 1 March 2013 were included in this study. Information on demographic and anthropometric factors and additional variables related to hypothyroidism were collected from medical records. Prevalence rates were calculated and standardized using direct method based on the age-specific and sex-specific structure of all participants. Data were analyzed using binary logistic regression with adjustment for potential confounders. The prevalence of hypothyroidism among type 2 diabetes mellitus inpatients was 6.8 %, and 77.0% of the patients with hypothyroidism had subclinical hypothyroidism. The prevalence of hypothyroidism increased with age, and was higher in women (10.8 %) than in men (3.4 %). Older age (odds ratio, 1.74; 95% confidence interval, 1. 05 to 2.89), female gender (odds ratio, 2.02; 95% confidence interval, 1.05 to 3.87), and positive thyroid peroxidase antibody (odds ratio, 4.99; 95% confidence interval, 2.83 to 8.79) were associated with higher odds of hypothyroidism among type 2 diabetes mellitus inpatients. The type 2 diabetes mellitus inpatients with hypothyroidism had higher prevalence of cerebrovascular diseases than those with euthyroidism after adjustment for age and gender. The prevalence of hypothyroidism among type 2 diabetes mellitus inpatients was 6.8 %, and most patients had subclinical hypothyroidism. Older age, female gender, and positive thyroid peroxidase antibody could be indicators for detecting hypothyroidism in type 2 diabetes mellitus inpatients.

- Introduction/Background: Although some studies have explored the association of adiposity and life habits (such as smoking) with osteoporosis and osteopenia among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, the association between diabetic clinical characteristics (especially hypoglycemic drug use) and osteoporosis/ osteopenia remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of clinical characteristics with osteoporosis and osteopenia among T2DM patients by sex. Methods: A total of 1222 T2DM patients aged >= 50 were included in the present study. Information on demographic, anthropometric and clinical characteristics was collected from medical records. Bone mineral density was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry densitometer. Multiple adjusted logistic regression analyses were performed to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of osteoporosis and osteopenia related to clinical characteristics. Results: Of all participants, the prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia was 9.2% and 41.3%, respectively, and they were higher in females (14.7% and 48.5%) than in males (2.8% and 33%). After adjustment for potential confounders, the results showed that overweight (OR = 0.59; 95 % CI, 0.42-0.81) and obesity (OR = 0.35; 95% CI, 0.24-0.50) were related to decreased odds of osteoporosis and osteopenia in both male and female T2DM patients, poor glycemic control (OR = 1.63; 95% CI, 1.08-2.47) was associated with increased odds of osteoporosis and osteopenia in males, and metformin treatment (OR = 0.65; 95% CI, 0.43-0.99) was associated with decreased odds of osteoporosis and osteopenia in females. Conclusions: Better glycemic management and rational choice of antidiabetic medication might be promising to prevent osteoporosis in T2DM patients. Further longitudinal studies are warranted to explore the association between antidiabetic treatment and osteoporosis.
