  Objectives: To identify factors affecting bone mineral density (BMD) in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) female patients referred to DXA-Scan. Method: We conducted a retrospective cohort study at tertiary care hospital in Ajman, United Arab Emi rates (UAE), and reviewed electronic hospital records for patients referred to DXA-Scan. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 569 were enrolled in the study; diabetic and control groups. Results: Diabetic group showed significantly higher percent of liver impairment (p ≤ 0.01), renal impairment (p ≤ 0.001), and had significantly higher comorbid conditions such as depression (p ≤ 0.01), hypertension (p ≤ 0.001), dyslipidemia (p ≤ 0.001), Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) (p ≤ 0.001) and osteoarthritis (p ≤ 0.01), as well as taking si..
