Effects of obesity and diabetes on rate of bone density loss.
Osteoporosis International 2018 January
In this large registry-based study, women with diabetes had marginally greater bone mineral density (BMD) loss at the femoral neck but not at other measurement sites, whereas obesity was not associated with greater BMD loss. Our data do not support the hypothesis that rapid BMD loss explains the increased fracture risk associated with type 2 diabetes and obesity observed in prior studies.
INTRODUCTION: Type 2 diabetes and obesity are associated with higher bone mineral density (BMD) which may be less protective against fracture than previously assumed. Inconsistent data suggest that rapid BMD loss may be a contributing factor.
METHODS: We examined the rate of BMD loss in women with diabetes and/or obesity in a population-based BMD registry for Manitoba, Canada. We identified 4960 women aged ≥ 40 years undergoing baseline and follow-up BMD assessments (mean interval 4.3 years) without confounding medication use or large weight fluctuation. We calculated annualized rate of BMD change for the lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck in relation to diagnosed diabetes and body mass index (BMI) category.
RESULTS: Baseline age-adjusted BMD was greater in women with diabetes and for increasing BMI category (all P < 0.001). In women with diabetes, unadjusted BMD loss was less at the lumbar spine (P = 0.017), non-significantly greater at the femoral neck (P = 0.085), and similar at the total hip (P = 0.488). When adjusted for age and BMI, diabetes was associated with slightly greater femoral neck BMD loss (- 0.0018 g/cm2 /year, P = 0.012) but not at the lumbar spine or total hip. There was a strong linear effect of increasing BMI on attenuated BMI loss at the lumbar spine with negligible effects on hip BMD.
CONCLUSIONS: Diabetes was associated with slightly greater BMD loss at the femoral neck but not at other measurement sites. BMD loss at the lumbar spine was reduced in overweight and obese women but BMI did not significantly affect hip BMD loss.
