Background: The relation between sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and vertebral fracture (VFx) is unclear.Aim: To examine whether SHBG is associated with bone mineral density at lumbar spine (LS-BMD), trabecular bone score (TBS) and prevalent VFx.Methods: Data of 6224 men and women participants in the third visit of the first cohort (I-3) and the first visit of the second cohort (II-1) of a prospective population based cohort, w...

Background: Fracture risk is increased in Type 2 diabetes (T2D) individuals. Bone mineral density (BMD) is inversely associated with fracture risk but paradoxically high in T2D individuals. Trabecular bone score (TBS) reflects bone microarchitecture and predicts fracture risk.Objective: We aimed to compare mean lumbar spine TBS (LS-TBS) and lumbar spine BMD (LS-BMD) values, across individuals with and without i) vertebral fracture (VFx), ii) T2D; and iii...
