STOCKHOLM: A study has revealed that women with type 2 diabetes are more likely to have fractures.
According to media reports, Swedish researchers explained the reason for this, saying that it is caused by overall poor physical health.
Recent research on women with type 2 diabetes suggests that bone density is higher in the aging diabetic population, but bone structure is weakened, which is further affected by diabetes.
A group of Swedish researchers reported that women aged 75-80 years with type 2 diabetes had poor physical function and ability, even compared to women without diabetes.
This was not seen in previous studies because it was difficult to access comprehensive and detailed data on bone properties and physiological functions, making it difficult to determine which of the factors increased fracture risk, said lead author Matthias Lorentzon. is connected to
