Inverse association of plasma leptin with cortical thickness at distal radius determined with a quantitative ultrasound device in patients with type  2 diabetes mellitus

ConclusionsLeptin level in plasma, independent of BMI and BMI plus waist ‐to‐hip ratio, was shown to be inversely associated with CoTh, but not trabecular BMD, suggesting that hyperleptinemia resulting from obesity might contribute to cortical porosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
