Article Synopsis
- Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer significantly increases long-term fracture risk, particularly within the first six months of starting treatment.
- A study of 471 men revealed that those currently using ADT had a much higher likelihood of experiencing fragility fractures compared to those who never used it.
- The findings highlight the need for preventive measures against fragile fractures at the beginning of ADT to manage this increased risk effectively.
Fracture risk revisited: Bone mineral density T-score and fracture risk in type 2 diabetes.

Aim: To study the association between femoral neck (FN) bone mineral density (BMD) T-score and fracture risk in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Materials And Methods: We performed a single-centre retrospective cohort study using the Danish National Health Service. BMD of the FN was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
Aim: To determine the association of diabetes-related characteristics with fractures at different sites in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Materials And Methods: We conducted a cohort study using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) GOLD. Patients aged over 30 years with T2D were identified within the CPRD.
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.
