Self-reported low-energy fractures and associated risk factors in people with diabetes: A national population-based study

Abstract: Estimates computed as weighted proportions/means, considering sample design. Multivariate logistic regression models to evaluate the association of diabetes and LEF; and predictors of LEF in diabetics. Results: 7675 subjects were analysed, of which 1173 reported diabetes. Diabetics were older (mean age 66.0 ± 11.49y), more frequently reported osteoporosis and falls in the previous 12 months (32.4% vs. 22.9%). Prevalence of self-reported LEF was 16.2% (95% CI:13.68-19.13) among diabetics (vs. 13.3%, 95% CI:12.1… Show more

“…In a study by Li et al., patients with T2D were more prone to frailty than population controls, and higher frailty increased the risk of fragility fracture but not spine or hip fracture in T2D [32]. Frailty may potentially lead to falls, and a study showed that patients with diabetes reported more falls which was associated with low energy fractures [33]. In addition, sarcopenia, the presence of low muscle mass and low muscle function [34] has been positively associated with osteoporosis, fracture risk, and fall risk in postmenopausal women without diabetes [35].…”

“…In clinical practice, BMD levels below the osteoporotic threshold and fragile fracture risk assessment tools, such as the World Health Organization fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX), are used to determine when to initiate fracture prevention treatment 7 . However, some studies have reported that these tools underestimate the risk of fracture in patients with diabetes 8 .…”
