Background: Secondary osteoporosis contributes to reduced quality of life, while increasing the risk of morbidity and mortality in type 2 diabetes patients. Diabetes and related complications can be detrimental to bone quality. Objective: Survey on bone mineral density, Osteoporosis by Dual energy X – ray absorptionmetry (DEXA) in type 2 diabetic patients at the Endocrine hospital of Thanh Hoa province; To evaluate the relation between bone mineral density, Osteoporosis and age, gender. Methods: A cross- sectional study on 1538 type 2 diabetes patients at the Endocrine hospital of Thanh Hoa province, from April 2019 to April 2021. Type 2 diabetes were diagnosed by Vietnam Ministry of Health Criteria. All patients were interviewed for getting information of age, gender. Bone mineral density were evaluated by Dual energy X – ray absorptionmetry (DEXA). Data were analysed by SPSS 13.0 software. Results: The mean value of bone mineral density at lumbar spine was 0.755 ± 0.151g/cm2; at femur neck was 0.774 ± 0.17 g/cm2. The percentage of decreased bone mineral density was 37%, in which: 32,74% for men and 40.84% for women. The percentage of osteoporosis was 13.46%, in which: 10.68% for men and 15.96% for women. The older the age, the lower the reduction of bone mineral density and the higher the rate of osteoporosis. Conclusion: It should be pay attention in the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis in patients with type 2 diabetes.
