Hyperglycemia Is Not Associated With Higher Volumetric BMD in a Chinese Health Check-up Cohort

Background and PurposeType 2 diabetes mellitus patients have an increased fracture risk despite having higher areal bone mineral density (aBMD) measured by DXA. This apparent paradox might be explained by the overestimation of BMD by DXA due to the higher fat mass in type 2 diabetes mellitus patient...
