Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with osteoporosis (T2DM-OP) has a high prevalence rate and high disability/death rate, and the bone mass level of patients is an important marker of the evolution and development of this disease. Early identification of the stage of T2DM-bone loss is an important strategy to prevent T2DM-OP. The study aims to screen the identifiable and quantifiable clinical phenotypes and key molecules of the "undiseased" state of T2DM-OP, and construct a mathematical model reflecting the critical transition of "the undiseased" in T2DM-OP to reveal the internal change leading to the occurrence and development of the disease.

Who can participate?
Patients aged 45 to 80 years old with type 2 diabetes mellitus

What does the study involve?
Patients with type 2 diabetes will be recruited and divided into three levels of normal bone mass, bone loss and osteoporosis through DEXA bone density detection, and clinical information and biological samples will be collected, including: general demographic information (gender, age, menopause, diet, lifestyle and other general social demographic information, as well as personal history, past history, family history, height, weight and other background information); complications and main drug use; number of fractures; traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome judgment; grip strength and sitting and standing test time; bone density (lumbar spine and hip bone density) and skeletal muscle mass. 10 ml blood will be collected from participants fasting in the morning to detect bone, glucose and lipid metabolism related markers and cytokines.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Participants may benefit from this study, including better assessment and monitoring of blood glucose and bone mass to inform clinical decision-making. They can also get reasonable and standardized clinical decision-making advice and improve their quality of life.
The study was an observational study and participants underwent routine medical practices with risks similar to those of a daily physical examination, so it did not pose any risks outside of routine medical treatment.

Where is the study run from?
Wangjing Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences (China)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
January 2024 to December 2026

Who is funding the study?
National Natural Science Foundation of China (T2341023) (China)

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedType 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with osteoporosis
InterventionPatients with type 2 diabetes will be recruited and divided into three levels of normal bone mass, bone loss and osteoporosis through DEXA bone density detection, and clinical information and biological samples will be collected, mainly including:
1. General demographic information (gender, age, menopause, diet, lifestyle and other general social demographic information, as well as personal history, past history, family history, height, weight and other background information)
2. Complications and main drug use
3. The number of fractures
4. TCM syndrome judgment
5. Grip strength and 5 times sitting and standing test time
6. Bone density (focus on monitoring lumbar spine and hip bone density) and skeletal muscle mass
7. 10 ml venous blood will be collected from the subjects in the fasting state in the morning to detect bone metabolism indexes, glucose metabolism related indexes, lipid metabolism related indexes, and cytokines.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureCurrent primary outcome measure as of 04/08/2025:
Bone density (focus on monitoring lumbar spine and hip) and body composition analysis measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at baseline

Previous primary outcome measure:
Bone density (focus on monitoring lumbar spine and hip) measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at baseline
Secondary outcome measures1. General demographic information is measured using a questionnaire at baseline, including gender, age, menopause, diet, lifestyle and other general social demographic information, as well as personal history, past history, family history, height, weight and other background information
2. Complications and main drug use measured using a questionnaire by way of inquiry at baseline
3. The number of fractures is measured using a questionnaire by way of inquiry at baseline
4. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome judgment is judged by professional traditional Chinese medicine doctors at baseline
5. Grip strength measured using dynamograph at baseline
6. The five-times-sit-to-stand test measured using timer at baseline
7. Skeletal muscle mass measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at baseline
8. Laboratory tests (blood) using ELISA at baseline. 10 ml venous blood will be collected from the subjects in the fasting state in the morning to detect bone metabolism indexes, glucose metabolism related indexes, lipid metabolism related indexes, and cytokines.
