Abstract

The study evaluates Asprosin's value in diabetic postmenopausal women, examining its reliability as a predictor for osteoporosis (OP) in the second type of diabetes (T2D) women. A case-control study recruited 255 postmenopausal women attending the geriatric department of the University Hospital. They were grouped into controls (non-OP non-T2D), and study cases. The latter were subdivided into: non-OP T2D, and OP T2D postmenopausal women (85/255) for each. Serum Asprosin level showed a significant increase in postmenopausal T2D women with OP (42.51 ± 2.97 ng/mL,  < 0.001) compared with postmenopausal T2D women without OP and controls. Additionally, there is a significant interrelationship between OP radiological indicators and bone-forming hormone in T2D women, osteocalcin. Moreover, bone resorption and glycemic markers in T2D women correlated significantly and positively with Asprosin. The Receiver operator characteristic curve discriminates OP T2D postmenopausal women from non-OP T2D postmenopausal women by estimating cutoff value (> 39.3 ng/mL) at 90% sensitivity, 63.3% specificity, and  < 0.001.
