Introduction: Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) is a new non-invasive method to evaluate trabecular bone quality at the lumbar spine. The literature has contradictory results concerning the influence of insulin resistance and adipose tissue on bone, for this reason it is of interest to evaluate factors that determine bone health and risk of fracture in patients with T2DM.Objective: To analyze the relationship between insulin resistance and adipose tissue with ...
