Association of daily physical activity and bone microarchitecture in young adults with type 1 diabetes - A pilot exploratory study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Physical activity (PA) is an important determinant of skeletal health. In young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) fracture risk is increased, yet few studies have examined the PA and bone health relationship. Therefore, this pilot cross-sectional study characterized PA levels and their association with bone parameters measured by high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in young adults with T1D.

Methods

HR-pQCT (Xtreme CTII) was used to measure bone outcomes at the distal tibia and radius, and accelerometery (ActiGraph GT3X) recorded daily minutes of light and moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Quadratic regression analyses were conducted with a p-value ≤ 0.05 considered significant.

Results

PA data from 19 young ad
