Pilot study shows that fat mass affects bone strength and geometry in autoimmune diabetes, suggesting limitations of bone mineral density alone.
In adults with AD, excess fat mass, including visceral adiposity, is independently associated with impaired hip bone strength and geometry at the femur shaft. These findings highlight the limitations of BMD alone in evaluating bone health in people with AD and overweight, emphasising the negative skeletal effects of adiposity.
