Abstract:Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have an increased risk of fragility fracture. However, the association between diabetes-related osteoporosis and mortality in T2DM remains unknown. This historical cohort study assessed the endpoint of all-cause mortality in patients with T2DM. According to our hospital record, bone parameters were examined in 797 patients from 1997 to 2009. We excluded 78 because of diseases affecting bone metabolism and could not follow-up 308 patients. Finally, in 411 patients, … Show more
“…With the increasing prevalence of T2DM and osteoporosis, the relationship between T2DM and bone metabolism has increasingly become the focus of research. 2,4 Metabolic disorders induced by T2DM tend to affect bone metabolism in different ways. 4,26 However, there is no consensus about the changes in BMD in patients with T2DM.…”

“…Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) tends to be associated with higher bone mineral density (BMD) and, illogically, with an increase in bone fragility. [1][2][3] It is increasingly recognized that postmenopausal women with T2DM have a high fracture risk that is associated with osteoporosis 1,4 and that previously established methods for predicting fracture events can be very variable in patients with T2DM because a higher BMD is associated with increased fracture events in these patients. 5 Conceptually, osteoporosis is defined as a systemic skeletal disease that is characterized by bone mass impairment and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue with a consequent decrease in bone strength and susceptibility to fracture.…”
Objective To compare the fracture risk in postmenopausal Asian women with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods The study cohort comprised data from consecutive postmenopausal women with T2DM that were retrieved from a prospectively maintained institutional database from 2001 to 2009. Postmenopausal women without DM from the Medical Examination Center from 2001 to 2009 formed the control cohort. The primary endpoint was the World Health Organization Fracture Risk Algorithm (FRAX, revised 2013) score. The secondary endpoint was bone mineral density (BMD). Results There were 1014 individuals included for the assessment (T2DM, n=500 and non-DM, n=514). Based on the FRAX model, the risk of major osteoporotic fractures and hip fractures over the next 10 years was higher in the T2DM group compared with the non-DM group. Compared with the T2DM group, the non-DM group had a lower BMD. After adjusting for age, gender, history of alcohol consumption, smoking status, body mass index, and low-density lipoprotein, the differences were statistically significant. Conclusions Compared with postmenopausal women without DM, postmenopausal women with T2DM had a significantly higher fracture risk calculated using the FRAX model. Early intervention for postmenopausal women with T2DM may be necessary, although T2DM is associated with a high BMD.

“…In recent years, the risk of fracture in T2D patients has attracted increasing attention . For T2D patients, severe vertebral fractures may even be related to all‐cause mortality . Bone mineral densities (BMDs) measured with dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) indicate the risk of fractures for non‐diabetic patients, but may underestimate fracture risk in T2D patients because T2D patients may experience fractures at relative elevated BMDs compared with non‐diabetics .…”

“…Many confounding factors are present, including those relating to the measurement of areal BMD (aBMD), and the complex interactions that exist between bone, body weight, and metabolism in T2D. A cohort study including 222 men and 189 women with T2D reported an inverse association between lumbar spine and femoral neck aBMD measured by Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) and all-cause mortality, and a positive association of severe vertebral fractures and mortality [6]. These observations require confirmation in larger cohorts and using more specific measures including volumetric BMD (vBMD) measured with Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT).…”
Lower vBMD was associated with increased all-cause mortality in African-American men with T2D, independent of other risk factors for mortality including subclinical atherosclerosis.
