Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study will assess bone differences in women and men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with and without fragility fractures.

Detailed Description
Cross-sectional evaluation of clinical, biochemical and microstructural measures of bone in patients with type 2 diabetes and age-matched healthy controls. Longitudinal assessment of clinical, biochemical and microstructural measures of bone in study participants without prevalent fragility fractures.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Intra-cortical pore volume [2 years]
Intracortical pore volume using HR-QCT femoral shaft and mid-tibia and HR-pQCT at the distal radius (mm3)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Areal Bone Mineral Density (aBMD) [2 years]
Areal BMD of the spine, the proximal femur and the distal radius (assessed by DXA)
- bone turnover markers [2 years]
alcaline phosphatase, crosslinks
- advanced glycation end products (AGE) [2 years]
urinary pentosidine levels
- Occurence of fractures during follow up [2 years]
incident fracture history
- Volumetric Bone Mineral Densitiy (vBMD) [2 years]
vBMD of the proximal femur, including trabecular and cortical bone in the femoral neck and Trochanter (assessed by HR-QCT)
- Cortical thickness and porosity [2 years]
assessed by HR-QCT at the caudal Region of the femoral neck or the proximal third of the femoral shaft
