We analyzed the patients’ total lumbar T-score with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. We included patients with a T-score between -1 and -2.4 and evaluated the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae of the patients with dorsal and ventral X-ray imaging.Results:In the results of the study in which we examined 154 osteopenic female patients, we found the mean osteopenia depth to be -1.52 in individuals with type 2 DM and -1.74 in the control group.
