The aim of study: Is to assess the frequency of occurrence of vertebral fractures (VFx) and their relationship with hip geometric parameters in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) postmenopausal women.Materials and methods: We examined 94 T2DM women, age: 59.6(55.1–63.2)yrs., duration of DM: 7(4.5–11)yrs., duration of menopause 8.5(4–13)yrs., HbA1c:7.3(6.6–9.8)%). The comparison group consisted of 89 women without DM (age:58.3 (52.8–...

Research object: Since type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients are at higher fracture risk in comparison to general population the aim of study was to assess, whether femur geometric parameters are connected with Fx in T1D females.Materials and methods: We examined 68 T1D 31 yrs. old (25–37.6) females with disease duration of 11 (7–17) yrs. and the average HbA1c equal to 8.5 (6.9–10.4) %. The control group consisted of 53 healthy age- and BMI-match...

Background and aims: According to modern researchers, in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the presence of diabetic osteopathy and an increasing fracture risk is evident. However, the determination of bone mineral density only is not enough to adequately assess the quality of the bone. Thus, the aim of the study was to study of the lumbar spine trabecular bone score as qualitative bone characteristic in T1DM men.Materials and methods: 52 males with T1...
