Background. Recent studies have shown the beneficial effect of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitor on bone turnover in diabetes mellitus. However, little clinical evidence for DPP4 activity in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes is available. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between plasma DPP4 activity and osteoporosis/osteopenia and fracture risk in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Methods. A total of 147 subjects with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes were enrolled for this cross-sectional study. The bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine (L1-4) and femoral neck (FN) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) and hip fracture (HF) was assessed by a modified fracture risk algorithm (FRAX) tool. The plasma DPP4 activity and clinical variables were measured. Correlation analyses between DPP4 activity and osteoporosis/osteopenia and fracture risk were performed. Results. Elevated plasma DPP activities were significantly associated with a higher proportion of osteoporosis/osteopenia (50% for quartile-1, 56.4% for quartile-2, 65.8% for quartile-3 and 72.2% for quartile-4). With increasing plasma DPP activities, the incidence rate of osteoporosis/osteopenia is gradually increasing ( P for the trend between quartiles = 0.04). Of note, a statistically significant linear correlation was found between plasma DPP4 activities and modified FRAX MOF (r = 0.20, P = 0.02 )...
