(adipokines), which mediate interorgan communication and regulate metabolic …

OBJECTIVE We aimed to explore whether frailty was associated with fracture risk and
whether frailty could modify the propensity of type 2 diabetes toward increased risk of …

Patients with diabetes often experience fragile fractures despite normal or higher bone
mineral density (BMD), a phenomenon termed the diabetic bone paradox (DBP). The …

The 'diabetic bone paradox'suggested that type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients would have higher
areal bone mineral density (BMD) but higher fracture risk than individuals without T2D. In …

This study analyzed data on 87,224 osteoporotic patients with up to 18 years of
computerized medical history. Patients with osteoporosis and type 2 diabetes had higher …

Background Individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are at increased fracture risk, with bone
