Bone Abstracts

Objectives: Turner syndrome (TS) affects 1:2000 girls and is mainly characterised by short stature and ovarian failure. Increased fracture risk has been reported in historical cohorts of women with TS and it was linked to their decreased bone mineral density (BMD). Nowadays, girls with TS are treated with growth hormone and substituted with estrogens, of which role in optimal bone mass accretion has been confirmed. Whether increased fracture rate is still of concern in these p...

Background: Sarcopenia and osteoporosis are among the late complications of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in adults. Whether and to what extent musculoskeletal impairment is present in childhood and adolescence has yet to be determined. The aim of this study was to assess volumetric bone mineral density (BMD) and dynamic muscle function in adolescents with T1D and to assess the clinical and biochemical predictors of their musculoskeletal system.Methods: Ninety-f...
