Bone Fractures, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Conditions
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.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Intra-cortical pore volume | 2 years | Intracortical pore volume using HR-QCT femoral shaft and mid-tibia and HR-pQCT at the distal radius (mm3) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| bone turnover markers | 2 years | alcaline phosphatase, crosslinks |
| advanced glycation end products (AGE) | 2 years | urinary pentosidine levels |
| Areal Bone Mineral Density (aBMD) | 2 years | Areal BMD of the spine, the proximal femur and the distal radius (assessed by DXA) |
| Volumetric Bone Mineral Densitiy (vBMD) | 2 years | vBMD of the proximal femur, including trabecular and cortical bone in the femoral neck and Trochanter (assessed by HR-QCT) |
| Cortical thickness and porosity | 2 years | assessed by HR-QCT at the caudal Region of the femoral neck or the proximal third of the femoral shaft |
| Occurence of fractures during follow up | 2 years | incident fracture history |
