Abstract

It is often known that diabetes is one of the illnesses that is spreading the quickest in the globe. Diabetes is recognized to have negative consequences on the body, including renal impairment, disorders of the neurological system, arterial disease, and visual challenges. Diabetes may have negative consequences on the skeletal system, including altered microstructure, decreased bone density, and/or altered durability. Globally, the most common causes of morbidity and premature mortality are diabetes mellitus and low-trauma fractures related to diabetes.  For this reason, more thought must be given to this topic of study.


Material and Method: The research work was carried out at the MPTMC, Department of Anatomy, Siddharthnagar, Uttar Pradesh, with aim to examine the face characteristics, namely Mental Index and face Height, between individuals with and without diabetes. A total of 152 people, 76 of whom were diabetes patients and the remaining 76 of whom were not, made up the research group. We also look at the hypothesis that diabetes is the cause of osteoporosis.


Results and conclusion: In the present study it was obtained that facial height was more in diabetic patients as compared to healthy individuals (both male and female) and mental index was less in diabetic patients in both male and female. This study's findings suggest that fragility of the bones and bone health are significantly impacted by diabetes.
