Article Synopsis
- Young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have a reported vertebral fracture (VF) prevalence that may reach up to 24%, raising the question of whether they need preventive screening.
- A study compared the prevalence of VFs between 127 adults with T1D and 65 nondiabetic controls, assessing factors like bone density and turnover markers.
- The findings indicated that VF prevalence was similar between the two groups (2.4% for T1D vs 3.1% for controls), suggesting no increased risk of VFs in individuals with relatively well-controlled T1D.
