Fracture risk in women with type II diabetes. Results from a historical cohort with fracture follow-up

ConclusionsAn association between type II diabetes and an increased risk of MOF primarily driven by an increased hip fracture risk was documented. This finding was independent of the presence of osteoporosis. Clinicians need to be aware of and adjust for these findings when evaluating patients with diabetes. Additional research examining pathophysiological mechanisms are needed.
