[10-year risk of fractures (FRAX) in people with diabetes type 2].

AIM: To study indicators of bone mineral densit (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) and to reveal the 10-year fracture risk (FRAX®) taking into account the data obtained in persons with type 2 diabetes (DM2). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A clinical study of the type of case - control. The study included 122 people with and without DM2. All persons were: questionnaires, anthropometry, densitometry, determination of TBS and fracture risk on the FRAX®. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Persons with DM2 who underwent a fracture had lower T-score values in all areas except the spine, unlike those with DM2, but without fracture. However, persons with DM2 had a fracture at high values of T-score in vertebrae and hips in comparison with persons without DM. Using the TBS, we did not get a significant difference in any of the examined groups. We also found no differences in the risk of recurrent fractures among women with and without DM2 using FRAX® without densitometry and FRAX® adjusted for TBS. The values of FRAX® by T-score in the group of persons with DM with fractures were significantly lower (p=0.029 for major fractures, p=0.024 for hip fractures) than in persons without DM with fractures. CONCLUSION: Persons with DM2 and fractures have higher BMD values, lower than the FRAX fracture risk values adjusted for the T-score, do not differ significantly in TBS, which determines the difficulties in diagnosis, the need to find additional methods for early diagnosis of increased fracture risk in patients with DM2.

[The forearm fractures in patients with diabetes and without diabetes in population sample aged over 50 years (Novosibirsk)].

BACKGROUND: The attention to the forearm fractures, as to osteoporotic fractures, is important for ensuring early detection of individuals at increased risk of future fractures and taking preventive measures. AIMS: To determine the frequency of a history of forearm fractures in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and without diabetes, and their association with risk factors for chronic non-communicable diseases (NCD). MATERIAL AND METHODS: In 2015-2017, in Novosibirsk, a random urban population sample of males and females, 58-84 years old (n=3878), was surveyed. The study included persons who signed the informed consent to conduct the study, excluded individuals who wrote a waiver of taking blood to determine biochemical parameters. In total, the analysis included n=3393 people, 718 of them with DM2 (21.2%). Work design is cross-sectional research. The collection of information on fractures during for the last 3 years, the registration of socio-demographic data; and risk factors for NCD, a study of biochemical blood parameters. The analysis of the association of DM2 and a complex of risk factors for NCD with a chance of a forearm fracture. RESULTS: The prevalence of forearm fractures in the last 3 years did not differ in patients with DM2 compared with those examined without diabetes and was 2.4% and 2.8%, respectively (p=0.557). Men with fractures had higher cholesterol and HDL values, women had lower body mass index (BMI), compared with people without fractures. According to the results of a multivariate analysis in women, the chance of a forearm fracture is directly associated with smoking in the past, a total cholesterol level of more than 200 mg/dl and inversely associated with a BMI. In men, associations were found of the chance of a forearm fracture with an increase in the level of cholesterol. There was no evidence of DM2 with forearm fracture. CONCLUSION: The obtained data on the incidence of fractures and their association with risk factors for chronic low risk infections suggest the need for preventive measures for osteoporotic fractures, both in people with and without DM2.
