    Increased fracture risk represents an emerging and severe complication of diabetes. The resulting prolonged immobility and hospitalisations can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality. In type 1 diabetes, bone mass and bone strength are reduced, resulting in up to a five-times greater risk of fractures throughout life. In type 2 diabetes, fracture risk is increased despite a normal bone mass. Conventional dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry might underestimate fracture risk, but can be improved by applying specific adjustments.

    Osteoporotic or fragility fractures affect one in two women and one in five men who are older than 50. These events are associated with substantial morbidity, increased mortality, and an impaired quality of life. Recommended general measures for fragility fracture prevention include a balanced diet with an optimal protein and calcium intake and vitamin D sufficiency, together with regular weight-bearing physical exercise. In this narrative Review, we discuss the role of nutrients, foods, and dietary patterns in maintaining bone health.

    Nearly one-third of women with endogenous Cushing’s syndrome and normal bone mineral density have a low trabecular bone score, according to study data. “A large proportion of patients had degraded microarchitecture despite normal BMD,” Hiya Boro, DM, MD, MBBS, consultant in endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism at Aadhar Health Institute in India, and colleagues wrote.

    A new Canadian guideline recommends a risk assessment–first approach to fragility fracture screening before a bone mineral density test to facilitate shared decision-making.

    Vitamin D and fractures - 12 month(s) ago

    Vitamin D was identified in the 1920s as the active principal in cod liver oil’s capacity to cure nutritional rickets. Since then, vitamin D has been regarded as a bone tonic by some; although, the prevention and cure of rickets and osteomalacia remain the only undisputed medical use of vitamin D. Also undisputed is that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, a metabolite of vitamin D, is a potent regulator of…

    Osteoporosis in men - 12 month(s) ago

    Osteoporosis in men is a common but often overlooked disorder by clinicians. The criterion for osteoporosis diagnosis in men is similar to that in women—namely, a bone mineral density (BMD) that is 2·5 standard deviations or more below the mean for the young adult population (aged 20–29 years; T-score –2·5 or lower), measured at the hip or lumbar spine. Sex steroids are important for bone health…
