The association between the ZJU index and bone mineral density (BMD) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
A high ZJU index was significantly associated with an increasing risk of osteopenia and OP. The ZJU is expected to be a potential index for detecting decreased BMDs in middle-aged and elderly T2DM patients. Early intervention in T2DM patients with increased ZJU may further reduce the incidence of osteopenia and OP, in addition to focusing on independent biomarker in clinical practice.
