Given that many studies have found an increase in bone fractures among diabetics, is type 2 diabetes possibly a risk factor for osteoporosis?<\/p>\n
Or is it the other way around?<\/p>\n
A new study in the Journal BMC Endocrine Disorders sought to answer this question.<\/p>\n
The authors of the study searched through medical journal databases and found the most relevant 21 studies that addressed this question. They included a total of 11,603 participants with diabetes.<\/p>\n
This is what they found:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n 1. The main finding was that 27.67% of diabetes patients had osteoporosis.<\/p>\n 2. The studies they reviewed varied wildly. The prevalence of osteoporosis in type 2 diabetics ranged from 7.29% to 53.71%.<\/p>\n 3. The prevalence of osteoporosis in type 2 diabetics was approximately the same across different age groups, sexes, body mass index scores, and countries.\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n This means that you should be aware of the possibility of osteoporosis if you have type 2 diabetes and do whatever you can to reduce your risk of bone fractures.<\/p>\n Fortunately, it\u2019s possible to heal osteoporosis using simple lifestyle changes explained here\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
