Bone mineral density and risk of fractures in aging, obese post-menopausal women with type 2 diabetes. The GIUMO Study

Abstract: In obese postmenopausal Caucasian women, type 2 DM produces an increase in BMD of the lumbar spine without changes in BMD of the proximal femur or in QUS measurements of the heel. The prevalence of vertebral, hip and non-vertebral fractures did not increase in type 2 DM.

“…In some studies, T2D was not associated with fractures [211, 298, 299]; in other studies T2D even tended to be protective [300, 301] although the latter result was not significant either on initial report or when reanalyzed in meta-analyses. Interestingly, those studies which resulted only in minimal increase in fracture risk involved mainly diet controlled [291, 302] or early onset T2D.…”

“…The most prevalent of these includes COPD, type I diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism, and rheumatoid arthritis. Many references are made in published articles [24][25][26][27] to the role of these diseases as facilitators of secondary osteoporosis.…”

“…Moreover, among the whole study population, the stroke patients showed the highest bone density values for the nonparetic side. The nonparetic side of stroke patients is exposed to greater weight bearing input and to excessive physical activity, causing it to gain greater bone density than that of the healthy population16, 17 ) . Increased physical activity through functional recovery of hemiplegic patients can be considered important in preventing decreased bone density throughout the whole body.…”

“…The World Health Organization has used T scores to define clinical cutoff values for osteoporosis in female adults. A T score of ≥−1.0 is defined as normal; a T score between −1.0 and −2.5, as osteopenia; and a T score of ≤−2.5, as osteoporosis15, 16 ) . This study defined the change in bone density as the difference in bone density between the paretic and nonparetic sides in the stroke group, and between the dominant and nondominant sides in the control group.…”
