Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) among patients with osteoporosis and fragility fractures, finding a prevalence rate of 12.7% among the 589 patients analyzed.
- - Patients with DM exhibited more combinations of vertebral and hip fractures and had a higher proportion of males, but their bone mineral density (BMD) was higher compared to those without DM.
- - Interestingly, while BMD was better in the DM group, their trabecular bone score (TBS) was significantly lower, suggesting that TBS may serve as a more reliable indicator of bone health in these patients than BMD.
