Association between neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio and bone mineral density and prevalent osteoporosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

1

The study investigated the association between the neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) and bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
2

NPAR levels were significantly higher in individuals diagnosed with osteoporosis compared to those without osteoporosis (P = 0.004).
3

NPAR was independently associated with osteoporosis, showing an odds ratio of 3.42 (95% CI: 1.10-10.64, P = 0.034).
4

There was a negative association between NPAR and BMD at both the femoral neck and total hip, with P-values of 0.009 and 0.020, respectively.
5

The study concluded that NPAR may provide supplementary information regarding prevalent osteoporosis in patients with T2DM, but should not be used as an independent screening marker.
