Correlation between thyroid sensitivity indices and bone metabolism in newly diagnosed middle aged and elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with normal thyroid function

Objective To investigate the association between thyroid hormone sensitivity indices and bone metabolism markers in newly diagnosed middle-aged and elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with normal thyroid function. Method We retrospectively analyzed 350 newly diagnosed T2DM patients (≥ 45 years), stratified by bone mineral density into Group A (normal bone density group) and Group B (low bone mass and osteoporosis group). General data and clinical biochemical parameters were collected: free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), parathyroid hormone (PTH), osteocalcin (OC), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), serum calcium (Ca), serum phosphorus (P), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobinA1c (HbA1c), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), serum creatinine (SCr), serum uric acid (SUA), and estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR). Thyroid sensitivity indices calculated were: thyrotropin resistance index (TT4RI), TSH index (TSHI), the ratio of FT3/FT4, and the secretory capacity of the thyroid (SPINA-GT). Associations were assessed using multiple linear regression, binary logistic regression, and stratified analysis. Results Group B patients had lower BMI, DBP, FT3, FT3/FT4 ratio, FPG, HbA1c, TG, SCr and SUA and higher age, female proportion, OC and HDL-C (P
