Purpose: Osteoporosis (OP) aggravates with vasculature degeneration and improvement of vasculature could prevent OP. We, thus, hypothesize that vascular structure and function play an important role in the development of OP. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients are vulnerable to vasculopathy, so T2DM were involved in this project to study the correlation between vasculopathy and bone mineral density (BMD).Methods: A total of 427 (180 in OP group; 247...
