Introduction: Current Canadian clinical practice guidelines recommend the FRAX or Canadian Association of Radiologists and Osteoporosis Canada (CAROC) fracture risk assessment tools to report 10-year fracture risk in an individual. CAROC considers sex, age, BMD and previous fracture as risk factors. It is unknown whether one reporting system is more effective in helping general practitioners (GPs) identify individuals who should be recommended for pharmacological treatment. We...

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...
