Keywords

Intra-cortical pore volume, HR-pQCT, DXA, bone mineral density, bone turnover markers, urinary pentosidine

Brief summary

This multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study will assess bone differences in women and men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with and without fragility fractures.

Detailed description

Cross-sectional evaluation of clinical, biochemical and microstructural measures of bone in patients with type 2 diabetes and age-matched healthy controls. Longitudinal assessment of clinical, biochemical and microstructural measures of bone in study participants without prevalent fragility fractures.
