Bone microarchitecture and strength assessed by HRpQCT in individuals with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes: the Maastricht study.

ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a prevalent disease and has been associated with an increased fracture risk despite normal or even higher areal BMD. The aim of this study was to estimate the association between glucose metabolism status (GMS) and measurements of glycemic control with HRpQCT parameters of bone microarchitecture and strength. Participants of the Maastricht study who underwent an HRpQCT scan at the distal radius and tibia were included. GMS was determined by use of an oral glucose tolerance test and grouped into a normal glucose metabolism (NGM), prediabetes, or T2D. Linear regression models were used, stratified by sex with multiple adjustments. This study incorporated cross-sectional data from 1400 (796 [56.9%] NGM, 228 [16.3%] prediabetes, and 376 [26.9%] T2D) men and 1415 (1014
