Prevalence of Vertebral Fractures in Type 1 Diabetes

“Prevalence of Vertebral Fractures in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes”
Background : Type 1 diabetes is associated with an increased risk of fractures. The mechanisms accounting for this bone fragility are not yet fully understood. The lower bone mineral density (BMD) observed in individuals with type 1 diabetes cannot solely explain the higher fracture incidence. Bone microarchitecture defects significantly contribute to bone fragility. Few studies assessed spine fractures in type 1 diabetes. This cross-sectional multicenter case-control study aims (1) to evaluate the prevalence of asymptomatic vertebral fractures in individuals with type 1 diabetes in comparison to age- and sex-matched healthy controls; (2) to compare individuals with diabetes with vertebral fractures and those without vertebral fracture using clinical, biochemical and radiological parameters.
