Introduction: Fracture risk is greater for adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D), despite normal or higher areal bone mineral density (aBMD) compared to controls. Tissue mineral density (TMD), measured by microCT, is more representative of actual mineral density than in vivo aBMD. The aim of this study was to determine whether TMD is greater in adults with T2D, and to investigate the correlates of TMD in adults with T2D.Methods: Using proximal femur...
