Effect of diabetes on BMD and TBS values as determinants of bone health in the elderly: Bushehr Elderly Health program

ConclusionOur findings suggest that subjects with pre-diabetes and diabetes have higher bone mineral density than normoglycemic subjects; the quality of bone, however, was not different between them. The discordance between BMD and TBS values in participants with diabetes suggest that although these patients have higher BMD values, their quality of bone microarchitecture may not be better than normoglycemic subjects.
