title: [Changes in the lumbar vertebrae in patients with diabetes].
abstract: Lumbar spine changes were studied in two groups of subjects. Group 1 included 35 diabetic patients, and Group 2 35 non-diabetic patients. Lumbar spine frequency of changes, distribution of subjects and frequency of changes according to age and sex were studied in both groups. The second part of the study was done in group 1 (diabetic patients). We've studied possible connection of lumbar spine changes with duration, sort of therapy and regulation of diabetes. Investigation results are shown on two graphs and seven tables and they show the frequent beginning of changes among elder subjects in both groups and more frequent beginning of the same changes among diabetic subjects treated by insulin which lasted for a longer time and basic disease was not well regulated.
