Registration Number
NCT06505044
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

Osteoporosis is a significant public health issue, especially among postmenopausal women with diabetes, and its prevalence is increasing. This trial aims to determine the influence of moderate intensity aerobic exercise vs resistance exercise on bone mineral density among postmenopausal diabetic women.

Detailed Description

has diabetes. Postmenopausal Osteoporosis (PMO) is an increasingly serious metabolic bone disease in the world, which generally develops in middle-aged and elderly women and postmenopausal women, and it is characterized by low bone mass and microstructure degradation of bone tissues. there are complex pathophysiological effects between them: T2D directly affects bone metabolism and strength. Some antidiabetic drugs affect bone metabolism, and diabetes complications are related to the risk of falls and subsequent fractures. Patients with T2D have higher trabecular and lower cortical bone density, leading to lower bone intensity. Exercise is considered a highly relevant component in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and fracture reduction. Exercise greatly affects bone geometry as it increases periosteal apposition through increasing osteoblast formation. In addition to influencing bone mineral density, exercise can improve muscle function to potentially decrease fall risk through improved balance and strength.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise versus resistance exercise on bone mineral density in postmenopausal diabetic women.
