Abstract
Deficits in bone mineral and weaker bone structure in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) may contribute to a lifelong risk of fracture. However, there is no meta-analysis comparing bone properties beyond density between children with T1D and typically developing children (TDC). This meta-analysis aimed to assess differences and related factors in bone mineral content (BMC), density, area, micro-architecture and estimated strength between children with T1D and TDC. We systematically searched MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library databases, and included 36 in the meta-analysis (2222 children and youth with T1D, 2316 TDC; mean age ≤18 yrs., range 1-24). We estimated standardized mean differences (SMD) using random-effects models and explored the role of age, body size, sex ratio, disease duration, hemoglobin A1c in relation to BMC and areal density (aBMD) SMD using meta-regressions. Children and youth with T1D had lower total body BMC (SMD: -0.21, 95% CI: -0.37 to -0.05), aBMD (-0.30, -0.50 to -0.11); lumbar spine BMC (-0.17, -0.28 to -0.06), aBMD (-0.20, -0.32 to -0.08), bone mineral apparent density (-0.30, -0.48 to -0.13); femoral neck aBMD (-0.21, -0.33 to -0.09); distal radius and tibia trabecular density (-0.38, -0.64 to -0.12 and -0.35, -0.51 to -0.18, respectively) and bone volume fraction (-0.33, -0.56 to -0.09 and -0.37, -0.60 to -0.14, respectively); distal tibia trabecular thickness (-0.41, -0.67 to -0.16); and tibia shaft cortical content (-0.33, -0.56 to -0.10). Advanced age was associated with larger SMD in total body BMC (-0.13, -0.21 to -0.04) and aBMD (-0.09; -0.17 to -0.01) and longer disease duration with larger SMD in total body aBMD (-0.14; -0.24 to -0.04). Children and youth with T1D have lower BMC, aBMD and deficits in trabecular density and micro-architecture. Deficits in BMC and aBMD appeared to increase with age and disease duration. Bone deficits may contribute to fracture risk and require attention in diabetes research and care. STUDY REGISTRATION: PROSPERO (CRD42020200819).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess bone mineral density (BMD) and associated clinical factors in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), and type 2 diabetes (T2D) and in non-diabetic subjects. METHODS Total 108 age-, sex-, disease duration-, and postmenopausal ratio-matched patients with T1D, LADA, and T2D each and 216 age-, sex-, and postmenopausal ratio-matched non-diabetic controls. Anthropometric, biochemical, and BMD data were collected and analysed. RESULTS BMD of total hip and lumbar spine of individuals in the LADA group was lower than those in the T2D and control groups but higher than those in the T1D group. After adjusting for body mass index (BMI), a significant difference in BMD in the lumbar spine was seen between groups. After adjustment for smoking, BMI, 25-(OH) vitamin D, calcium, haemoglobin A1c, and diabetic complication scores, BMD values of patients in LADA group were not significantly different from those of patients in T1D and T2D groups. Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that BMD was (a) positively associated with weight and C-peptide, and negatively associated with age in patients with diabetes, (b) positively associated with C-peptide in the T1D and LADA groups. The proportion of patients with osteoporosis in the T1D, LADA, T2D, and control groups was 55.6%, 45.4%, 34.3%, and 26.9%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS BMD values in T1D, LADA, and T2D were in an increasing order of mention. Patients with autoimmune diabetes were more susceptible to osteoporosis. A lower C-peptide level may be responsible for decreased BMD in individuals with autoimmune diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS Adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) have decreased bone mineral density (BMD). Our study aimed at determining BMD and the association to metabolic control in children and adolescents with T1D. METHODS 244 patients (113 girls) with a median age of 14.3 years and T1D duration of 1-16 years were included. A dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan assessed BMD Z-scores excluding the head (total body less head, TBLH). TBLH-BMD were then investigated for associations to diabetes relevant variables such as HbA1c, insulin treatment, anthropometry and physical activity. RESULTS In all participants the TBLH-BMD Z-score (0.22 ± 0.96) was significantly higher than the references. Separated by sex, TBLH-BMD Z-score in boys (0.11 ± 0.84) was no different from healthy peers whereas TBLH-BMD Z-score was significantly higher in girls (0.36 ± 1.09). The higher TBLH-BMD Z-score in girls were explained by higher BMI Z-scores. Participants with assumed final height (based on age) had an average TBLH-BMD Z-score of 0.78 ± 1.06, significantly higher than references independent of gender, HbA1c, height- and weight Z-scores. Multiple regression analyses showed that TBLH BMD Z-score associated negatively to HbA1c (P = 0.003), pump treatment (P = 0.019) and screen-time (P = 0.005) and positively to weight Z-score (P < 0.001). Physical activity, sex and puberty did not significantly associate to TBLH-BMD Z-score. CONCLUSION Unlike adults with T1D, BMD is not decreased in children and adolescents with T1D and even elevated after attained final height. As HbA1c negatively associates to BMD, decreased BMD may progress over time. Whether changes in microarchitecture or bone metabolism precede changes in BMD needs further investigation.

Abstract
AIMS The skeletal complications of type 1 diabetes (T1D) include low bone density, poor bone quality and fractures. Greater calcium intake, vitamin D intake, and physical activity are commonly recommended to improve bone health in patients with T1D. However, it is not clear whether these factors are affected by T1D or improve clinical outcomes. METHODS The objective of this study was to systematically review the literature for evidence of associations between calcium intake, vitamin D intake, and physical activity and skeletal outcomes in T1D. In accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, twenty-two studies were included in this review. RESULTS The prevalence of calcium deficiency was high and encompassed greater than 50% of participants in the majority of studies. Despite this finding, there was no clear association between calcium intake and bone density in any study. Calcitriol use was associated with gains in bone density in one study but was not associated with changes in bone turnover markers in a second report. No studies specifically investigated the impact of vitamin D2 or D3 supplementation on bone health. Two studies reported a beneficial effect of physical activity interventions on bone accrual in children. The findings from observational studies of physical activity were mixed. CONCLUSION There are insufficient data to determine if deficient calcium intake, vitamin D intake, or physical activity contributes to the skeletal complications of T1D. Future studies specifically designed to assess the impact of these interventions on the skeleton in T1D participants are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disturbed bone turnover, osteoporosis, and increased fracture risk are late complications of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Little is known about how far and to what extent can glycaemic control of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) prevent disturbances of bone health and body composition during the growth and maturation period. OBJECTIVE The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare the skeletal status outcomes and body composition between patients stratified by glycaemic control (1-year HbA1c levels) into well- and poorly-controlled subgroups in a population of T1DM adolescents, that is, <8% and ≥8%, respectively. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Skeletal status and body composition were evaluated in 60 adolescents with T1DM (53.3% female; mean aged: 15.1 ± 1.9 years; disease duration: 5.1 ± 3.9 years) using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (GE Prodigy). The results were compared to age- and sex-adjusted reference values for healthy controls. The calculated Z-scores of different metabolic control subgroups were compared. Clinical data was also assessed. RESULTS As evidenced by Z-scores, patients with T1DM revealed a significantly lower TBBMD (total body bone mineral density), TBBMC (total body bone mineral content), S24BMD (bone mineral density of lumbar spine L2-L4), and TBBMC/LBM ratio (total body bone mineral content/lean body mass), but higher FM (fat mass) and FM/LBM ratio (fat mass/lean body mass) values compared to an age- and sex-adjusted general population. The subset (43.3% patients) with poor metabolic control (HbA1c ≥ 8%) had lower TBBMD, TBBMC, and LBM compared to respective values noted in the HbA1c < 8% group, after adjusting for confounders (mean Z-scores: -0.74 vs. -0.10, p = 0.037; -0.67 vs. +0.01, p = 0.026; and -0.45 vs. +0.20, p = 0.043, respectively). Additionally, we found a significant difference in the TBBMC/LBM ratio (relative bone strength index) between the metabolic groups (-0.58 vs. -0.07; p = 0.021). A statistically significant negative correlation between 1-year HbA1c levels and Z-scores of TBBMD, TBBMC, and LBM was also observed. In patients with longer disease duration, a significant negative correlation was established only for TBBMD, after adjusting for confounders. The relationships between densitometric values and age at onset of T1DM and sex were not significant and showed no relation to any of the analysed parameters of the disease course. CONCLUSION Findings from this study of adolescents with T1DM indicate that the lower Z-scores of TBBMD, TBBMC, and LBM as well as the TBBMC/LBM ratio are associated with increased HbA1c levels. Their recognition can be crucial in directing strategies to optimise metabolic control and improve diabetes management for bone development and maintenance in adolescents with T1DM.

Abstract
Substantial evidence exists that diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of osteoporotic fractures. Low bone strength as well as bone extrinsic factors are probably contributing to the increased bone fragility in diabetes. Bone density and quality are important determinants of bone strength. Although bone mineral density (BMD) and the fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) are very useful clinical tools in assessing bone strength, they may underestimate the fracture risk in diabetes mellitus. Through advances in new technologies such as trabecular bone score (TBS) and peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT), we can better assess the bone quality and fracture risk of patients with diabetes mellitus. Invasive assessments such as microindentation and histomorphometry have been great complement to the existing bone analysis techniques. Bone turnover markers have been found to be altered in diabetes mellitus patients and may be associated with fractures. This review will give a brief summary of the current development and clinical uses of these assessments.

Abstract
We have previously shown that the intertrochanter of young and middle-aged patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) showed higher buckling ratio (an index of cortical instability) and lower volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD). However, we have not yet reported the detailed findings regarding the mechanical and density properties of the femoral neck. Therefore, we present a subanalysis of our previous study with the aim of further evaluating the middle third of the femoral neck via quadrant quantitative computed tomography in young and middle-aged patients with T1DM. Bone parameters in 4 anatomical quadrants (superoanterior [SA], inferoanterior [IA], inferoposterior [IP], and superoposterior [SP]) were cross-sectionally evaluated in 17 male T1DM patients and 18 sex-matched healthy controls aged between 18 and 49 yr using quadrant quantitative computed tomography analysis. Patients with T1DM had a thinner cortical thickness in the SP quadrant and a significantly lower cortical vBMD in the SA quadrant than the controls. The serum insulin-like growth factor-1 values in patients with T1DM were positively correlated with the average cortical thickness in the SA quadrant and the average trabecular vBMD in the SP quadrant of the femoral neck. The cortical thickness in controls was negatively correlated with age in the SP and IP quadrants. The cortical thickness in patients with T1DM showed no correlation with age in all quadrants. The fragility of the femoral neck was remarkable in the superior region of patients with T1DM. Insulin-like growth factor-1 may play an important role in superior cortical thinning and in lowering cortical vBMD. Furthermore, in young and middle-aged men with T1DM, the structure of the femoral neck exhibits similar changes as those observed with aging.

Abstract
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-five children and adolescents (59 boys and 36 girls, mean age 16.2±1.2years) with T1D were included in this cross-sectional study. Study participants were divided into two groups according to the duration of the disease (<6years and >9years, respectively). Volumetric BMD of the non-dominant tibia was assessed using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT). Dynamic muscle function was evaluated using jumping mechanography. Gender- and height-specific Z-scores were calculated using published reference data. HbA1c was evaluated retrospectively as an average over the past 5years. RESULTS Relative muscle power (Pmax/mass) and force (Fmax/body weight) were significantly decreased in T1D subjects (mean Z-scores -0.4±1.0; p<0.001, and -0.3±1.1; p<0.01, respectively). The duration of T1D negatively affected Pmax/mass (p<0.01) but not Fmax/body weight (p=0.54). Patients with T1D had also decreased trabecular BMD, the Strength-Strain Index and cortical thickness (mean Z-scores -0.8±1.3; -0.5±0.8 and -1.1±0.8, respectively, p<0.001 for all) whereas cortical BMD was increased when compared to controls (Z-score 1.2±0.90, p<0.001). No association was observed between the HbA1c and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and bone or muscle parameters. CONCLUSION T1D influences the musculoskeletal system in adolescence. Decreased muscle function could contribute to the osteoporosis reported in adult diabetic patients.

Abstract
The skeleton is adversely affected by type 1 diabetes (T1D). Patients with T1D of both sexes have an increased risk of fracture that begins in childhood and extends across the entire lifespan. T1D is characterized by mild to modest deficits in bone density, structure, and microarchitecture. Current evidence suggests that the observed bone deficits in T1D are the result of impaired bone formation rather than increased bone resorption. There is emerging data that bone quality is impaired in T1D, which may explain the findings that fracture risk is elevated out of proportion to the degree of bone mineral deficit. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge regarding the epidemiology of skeletal health in T1D. Given the high individual and societal burden of osteoporotic fracture, there is an urgent need to better understand the etiology of T1D-related bone disease so that clinical strategies to prevent fracture can be developed.

Abstract
Alterations in microstructure and mineral features can affect the mechanical and chemical properties of bones and their capacity to resist mechanical forces. Controversial results on diabetic bone mineral content have been reported and little is known about the structural alterations in collagen, maturation of apatite crystals, and carbonate content in diabetic bone. This current study is the first to report the mineral and organic properties of cortical, trabecular, and growth plate regions of diabetic rat femurs using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) microspectroscopy and the Vickers microhardness test. Femurs of type I diabetic rats were embedded into polymethylmethacrylate blocks, which were used for FT-IR imaging and microhardness studies. A lower mineral content and microhardness, a higher carbonate content especially labile type carbonate content, and an increase in size and maturation of hydroxyapatite crystals were observed in diabetic femurs, which indicate that diabetes has detrimental effects on bone just like osteoporosis. There was a decrease in the level of collagen maturity in diabetic femurs, implying a decrease in bone collagen quality that may contribute to the decrease in tensile strength and bone fragility. Taken together, the findings revealed alterations in structure and composition of mineral and matrix components, and an altered quality and mechanical strength of rat femurs in an early stage of type I diabetes. The results contribute to the knowledge of structure-function relationship of mineral and matrix components in diabetic bone disorder and can further be used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Simultaneous lower bone mineral density, metabolic bone markers, parathyroid hormone (PTH), magnesium, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), and higher levels of total soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (s-RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are indicative of lower osteoblast and increased osteoclast signaling in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus, predisposing to adult osteopenia and osteoporosis. INTRODUCTION Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a risk factor for reduced bone mass, disrupting several bone metabolic pathways. We aimed at identifying association patterns between bone metabolic markers, particularly OPG, s-RANKL, and bone mineral density (BMD) in T1DM children and adolescents, in order to study possible underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms of bone loss. METHODS We evaluated 40 children and adolescents with T1DM (mean ± SD age 13.04 ± 3.53 years, T1DM duration 5.15 ± 3.33 years) and 40 healthy age- and gender-matched controls (aged12.99 ± 3.3 years). OPG, s-RANKL, osteocalcin, C-telopeptide cross-links (CTX), IGF1, electrolytes, PTH, and total 25(OH)D were measured, and total body along with lumbar spine BMD were evaluated with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Multivariate regression and factor analysis were performed after classic inference. RESULTS Patients had significantly lower BMD, with lower bone turnover markers, PTH, magnesium, and IGF1 than controls, indicating lower osteoblast signaling. Higher levels of total s-RANKL, OPG, and total ALP were observed in patients, with log(s-RANKL) and OPG correlation found only in controls, possibly indicating increased osteoclast signaling in patients. Coupling of bone resorption and formation was observed in both groups. Multivariate regression confirmed simultaneous lower bone turnover, IGF1, magnesium, and higher total s-RANKL, OPG, and ALP in patients, while factor analysis indicated possible activation of RANK/RANKL/OPG system in patients and its association with magnesium and IGF1. Patients with longer disease duration or worse metabolic control had lower BMD. CONCLUSIONS T1DM children and adolescents have impaired bone metabolism which seems to be multifactorial. Reduced osteoblast and increased osteoclast signaling, resulting from multiple simultaneous disturbances, could lead to reduced peak bone accrual in early adulthood, predisposing to adult osteopenia and osteoporosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease with chronic hyperglycemic state, which incidence has been globally rising during the past decades. Besides the well-known diabetic complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy, T1D is characterized also by poor bone health. The reduced bone mineralization, quality and strength lead to vertebral and hip fractures as the most important clinical manifestations. Suppressed bone turnover is the main characteristic of T1D-associated bone disorder. RESULTS This is thought to be due to hyperglycemia, hypoinsulinemia, autoimmune inflammation, low levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 and vitamin D. Young age of T1D manifestation, chronic poor glycemic control, high daily insulin dose, low body mass index, reduced renal function and the presence of diabetic complications are clinical factors useful for identifying T1D patients at risk of reduced bone mineral density. Although the clinical risk factors for fracture risk are still unknown, chronic poor glycemic control and the presence of diabetic complications might raise the suspicion of elevated fracture risk in T1D. In the presence of the above-mentioned risk factors, the assessment of bone mineral density by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and the search of asymptomatic vertebral fracture by vertebral fracture assessment or lateral X-ray radiography of thorax-lumbar spine should be recommended. CONCLUSION There is no consensus about the treatment of diabetic bone disorder. However, the improvement of glycemic control has been suggested to have a beneficial effect on bone in T1D. Recently, several experiments showed promising results on using anabolic pharmacological agents in diabetic rodents with bone disorder. Therefore, randomized clinical trials are needed to test the possible use of the bone anabolic therapies in humans with T1D.

Abstract
A few studies have investigated the relationship between type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and bone mineral density (BMD) values. This meta-analysis was performed to explore differences between T1DM and healthy individuals in BMD values measured at five bone sites.We searched the database of PubMed for cross-sectional studies about the association of T1DM and BMD, and a meta-analysis was conducted.The results suggested significant association between T1DM and decreased BMD values of total body. The pooled mean differences (MDs) were -0.06 [95% confidence interval (CI): -0.11, -0.01] for all people. As for the association between T1DM and spine BMD values, the pooled MDs were -0.04 (95% CI: -0.07, -0.01) for males and -0.03 (95% CI: -0.06, 0.00) for females <20 years old. As for femur BMD values, the pooled MDs were -0.06 (95% CI: -0.13, 0.00) for all people, -0.03 (95% CI: -0.06, -0.01) for females and -0.04(95% CI: -0.05, -0.02) for males. As for hip BMD values, the pooled MDs were -0.06 (95% CI: -0.08, -0.04) for females. As for forearm BMD values, the pooled MDs were -0.01 (95% CI: -0.02, 0.00) for females.The results of this meta-analysis suggest the overall association between T1DM and reduced BMD values. Notably, the influence of T1DM on BMD seems to depend on gender or patient's age. Reduced BMD values may occur early after T1DM diagnosis. Future clinical and basic research studies are needed to further understand the mechanisms of decreased BMD values in T1DM patients.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is autoimmune disease with chronic hyperglycaemic state. Besides diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy, T1D is characterized by poor bone health. The reduced bone mineralization and quality/strength, due to hyperglycemia, hypoinsulinemia, autoimmune inflammation, low levels of insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and vitamin D, lead to vertebral/hip fractures. Young age of T1D manifestation, chronic poor glycemic control, high daily insulin dose, low BMI, reduced renal function, and the presence of complications can be helpful in identifying T1D patients at risk of reduced bone mineral density. Although risk factors for fracture risk are still unknown, chronic poor glycemic control and presence of diabetic complications might raise the suspicion of elevated fracture risk in T1D. In the presence of the risk factors, the assessment of bone mineral density by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and the search of asymptomatic vertebral fracture by lateral X-ray radiography of thorax-lumbar spine should be recommended. The improvement of glycemic control may have a beneficial effect on bone in T1D. Several experiments showed promising results on using anabolic pharmacological agents (recombinant IGF-1 and parathyroid hormone) in diabetic rodents with bone disorder. Randomized clinical trials are needed in order to test the possible use of bone anabolic therapies in humans with T1D.

Abstract
Abstract Background and aims: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) represents a secondary cause of osteoporosis. Our aim was to determine bone mineral density (BMD) changes in a group of young Romanian adults with T1DM and to analyze the factors related to this disease that could have had an impact on bone mass. Material and Methods: Fifty-two young patients with T1DM were compared to 37 healthy volunteers matched for body mass index (BMI). All subjects had their BMD measured at the hip and lumbar spine. Results: We found no statistically significant differences in BMD between T1DM patients and controls (p=0.618 for lumbar spine, p=0.974 for femoral neck and p=0.883 for total hip). Multiple linear regression models detected BMI (p =0.043), smoking (p=0.001) and milk intake (p=0.004 for lumbar spine) as significant BMD determinants. In contrast, no associations were found between BMD and metabolic control, daily insulin dose or presence of diabetic retinopathy and/or neuropathy. Long diabetes duration was negatively associated with BMD in femoral neck (p=0.012). Conclusions: Although we couldn’t find differences between BMD in T1DM patients and controls, the link between diabetes duration and BMD that we found suggests that even young patients with long standing T1DM should have their BMD measured

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (particularly type 2) and osteoporosis are two very common disorders, and both are increasing in prevalence. Adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus may not reach potential peak bone mass, putting them at greater fracture risk. In adults with type 2 diabetes, fracture risk is increased and is not explained by the bone mineral density measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, still considered the gold standard predictor of fracture. In this review, we explore potential mechanisms behind the increased fracture risk that occurs in patients with diabetes, even those with increased bone mineral density. One potential link between diabetes and bone is the osteoblast-produced factor, osteocalcin. It remains to be established whether osteocalcin reflects or affects the connection between bone and glucose metabolism. Several other potential mediators of the effects of diabetes on bone are discussed.

Abstract
This case-control study aimed to assess bone status in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Fifty-seven pre-pubertal patients (37 boys, aged 7.9 ± 2.5 years, T1DM duration 3.1 ± 1.6 years) and 171 age-matched healthy controls (111 boys) were studied. Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) was used to measure amplitude dependent speed of sound (Ad-SoS) at hand phalanges (expressed as standard deviation score [SDS]). Anthropometric and disease-related data (including mean HbA(1c) from whole T1DM duration [T], last year [Y], examination day [D]) were collected. Mean Ad-SoS SDS in patients -0.13 ± 1.32 (95% confidence interval [CI] -0.48, 0.22) was similar to that of controls. Subgroups discriminated according to HbA(1c) D, Y and T (cut-off 7.0%) did not differ regarding analyzed parameters. In patients, Ad-SoS SDS was comparable for both genders. Multivariable stepwise regression analysis showed significant negative influence of diabetes duration on Ad-SoS SDS. QUS findings in pre-pubertal children with T1DM do not differ from those in healthy children. Disease duration seems to affect negatively Ad-SoS SDS. However, independent prospective studies are needed to elucidate the true associations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess bone mineral density (BMD), body composition by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and various biochemical markers of bone growth and resorption in a group of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 47 patients with T1DM and 30 age- and sex-matched controls. Anthropometric measurements, biochemical markers for bone formation, bone resorption and DXA were done for all patients and controls. RESULTS Of our diabetes patients, seven (16.7 %), three (7.3 %), and 17 (41.5%) met diagnostic criteria for osteopenia at the right femur, lumbar spine and total body, respectively. On the other hand, osteoporosis as defined by the WHO criteria was diagnosed in 21 patients (51.2%) at the total body by DXA. Lean body mass and lean fat ratio were lower, while, total fat mass, abdominal fat%, soft tissue fat mass%, and fat/lean ratio were higher in diabetics compared to controls. Also, our patients showed lower serum osteocalcin, osteoprotegerin, procollagen type 1, and higher urinary deoxypyridinoline. Pubertal (diabetics and controls) have higher BMD and BMC than prepubertal. CONCLUSION Diabetic patients had a low BMD after adjustment (Z score), low bone formation and high bone resorption markers. Diabetes control and increase in BMI leads to a decrease in the incidence of low bone mineral density. Diabetes causes an increase in body fat especially abdominal fat which leads to an increase in insulin resistance and decrease in lean mass.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of the study was to investigate the potential negative impact of type 1 diabetes on bone status of adolescents. Bone status in adolescents with type 1 diabetes was assessed by means of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and the influence of metabolic control and other disease-related and growth variables was analysed. METHODS Group I consisted of 99 pubertal (Tanner > or = 2) adolescents (49 female), aged 14.3 +/- 2.5 years, diabetes duration 4.6 +/- 2.3 years. Controls (group II) were 297 children, matched by sex and age, from a healthy population. The influence of glycated haemoglobin (current: HbA(1c)D; last year's mean: HbA(1c)Y; whole duration mean: HbA(1c)T), diabetes duration, percentage of life with disease and daily insulin requirement (DIR) on amplitude dependent speed of sound (Ad-SoS) at distal phalanges was studied. RESULTS In comparison to the control group, adolescents with type 1 diabetes presented significantly higher BMI SDS (0.82 [95% CI 0.54, 1.10] vs -0.06 [95% CI -0.16, 0.04] p < 0.001) and lower Ad-SoS SDS (-0.34 [95% CI -0.57, -0.11] vs -0.03 [95% CI -0.15, 0.08], p < 0.05). No correlation between Ad-SoS SDS and sex, DIR or diabetes duration was observed. The lower Ad-SoS SDS reflects reduced bone status, and the reduction was significantly more marked in those patients whose HbA(1c)T was higher than 7.0% when compared with those whose HbA(1c)T was lower. CONCLUSIONS Bone status of adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus assessed with QUS differs from that of healthy peers and is dependent on long-term metabolic control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low bone mineral density (BMD) has been recognized as a potential problem in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of the study was to investigate BMD in Swedish children and adolescents with IBD and to evaluate possible factors affecting BMD. METHODS To evaluate BMD, all patients (n = 144) underwent a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the whole body and the spine. BMD values were expressed as Z-scores using normative pediatric data from Lunar (GE Medical Systems). RESULTS In this population-based study, the lowest BMD values were found in the lumbar spine. The entire IBD group showed significantly lower BMD Z-scores of the lumbar spine (L2-L4) in comparison to healthy references (-0.8 standard deviation [SD], range -5.9 to 3.7 SD, P < 0.001). Decreased BMD with a Z-score < -1 SD occurred in 46.7% of the individuals with Crohn's disease (CD) and in 47.0% of those with ulcerative colitis (UC). Low BMD with a Z-score ≤ -2 SD was present in 26.7% of the patients with CD and in 24.1% of the UC patients. In a multiple regression model with BMD lumbar spine as the depending variable, possible factors associated with lower BMD were male gender, low body mass index (BMI), and treatment with azathioprine. CONCLUSIONS Low BMD is prevalent in Swedish pediatric patients with IBD. Possible risk factors for lower BMD are male gender, low BMI, and treatment with azathioprine, as a probable marker of disease course severity.

Abstract
SUMMARY We measured bone mass and structure using pQCT and DXA in adolescents with Type 1 diabetes and compared the results with those of healthy peers. Our results showed that diabetes is associated with reduced bone mass and smaller bones. The diabetes-associated deficits seemed to concern male adolescents more than females. INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare bone mass and structure between adolescents with type 1 diabetes and their healthy peers. METHODS Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) at radius and tibia, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at lumbar spine and proximal femur were performed for 48 adolescents, 26 girls and 22 boys, with type 1 diabetes, and for healthy peers matched for age, sex, body height and weight, and pubertal maturity. RESULTS Diabetes was associated with reduced bone mineral content (BMC) and smaller bone cross-sectional size. Diabetic boys seemed to be more affected than diabetic girls. Among the boys, the mean deficit in BMC of all measured skeletal sites was more than 10%, while among the girls it was less than 5%. CONCLUSION In conclusion, type 1 diabetes is associated with reduced BMC and appears to affect bone cross-sectional size and cortical rigidity. The diabetes-related skeletal deficits seemed to concern male adolescents more than females. Whether diabetes-related deficits would contribute to an increased risk of fractures in adulthood or later in life remains to be confirmed.

Heilman K, Zilmer M, Zilmer K, Tillmann V. Lower bone mineral density in children with type 1 diabetes is associated with poor glycemic control and higher serum ICAM-1 and urinary isoprostane levels. J Bone Miner Metab 2009; 27:598-604. [PMID: 19373518 DOI: 10.1007/s00774-009-0076-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 58] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2008] [Accepted: 02/06/2009] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to investigate bone mineral density (BMD) in children with type 1 diabetes (DM1) and to establish the relationships between BMD, physical activity, glycemic control, and markers of systemic oxidative stress and inflammation. We studied 30 children with DM1, aged 4.7-18.6 years, and 30 healthy subjects, matched by sex, age, and body mass index (BMI). Mean duration of DM1 was 5.4 +/- 3.4 years and mean glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)) level over 12 months was 9.8 +/- 1.5%. Lumbar and total bone mineral density (BMD, g/cm(2)) were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). We calculated the apparent volumetric lumbar BMD (BMDvol, g/cm(3)) and total mineral content adjusted for age and height (BMCadj), and measured plasma intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and urinary 8-iso-prostaglandin F(2a) (F(2)-IsoPs). Calcium (Ca) intake was assessed by questionnaire and physical activity by questionnaire and accelerometer (ActiGraph, count/h). Total BMCadj and lumbar BMDvol were significantly lower in children with DM1 than in controls (101.8 +/- 7.7 vs. 107 +/- 5.7%, P = 0.005; 0.32 +/- 0.08 vs. 0.36 +/- 0.09 g/cm(3), P = 0.05, respectively). These differences were mostly caused by the differences in boys. Plasma ICAM-1 and hs-CRP levels were significantly higher in the DM1 group compared to the controls. Ca intake and urine F(2)-IsoPs levels were similar between the groups. Diabetic boys were less active than controls (18231 +/- 6613 vs. 24145 +/- 7449 count/h, P = 0.04). In the DM1 group, lumbar BMDvol correlated inversely with urinary F(2)-IsoPs (r = -0.5; P = 0.005) and plasma ICAM-1 levels (r = -0.4; P = 0.02), and also with HbA(1c) levels after adjustment for age (r = -0.45; P < 0.05). Total BMCadj correlated inversely with HbA(1c) levels (r = -0.4; P = 0.02). We conclude that children with DM1, particularly boys, have lower BMD. Poor glycemic control, elevated markers of oxidative stress, and inflammation are associated with lower BMD.

Bone mineralization in young patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and screening-identified evidence of celiac disease. Dig Dis Sci 2008; 53:1240-5. [PMID: 17939041 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-007-9988-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2007] [Accepted: 08/15/2007] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
The aims of this study were to evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers in patients with type 1 diabetes and screening-identified evidence of celiac disease, i.e., celiac autoimmunity. We screened 50 consecutive type 1 diabetic patients for IgA antitissue transglutaminase to identify those with celiac autoimmunity. Eight seropositive patients were identified on this screening, and 12 patients matched for gender and age range were selected as a control group from among the type 1 diabetic patients without celiac autoimmunity. Patients and controls underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) for measurement of bone mineral status and had their blood levels of osteocalcin, carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX), calcium, and phosphorus determined. BMD was further adjusted for height, weight, and pubertal stage. Radiographic and blood markers of bone mineralization were compared between patients and controls. BMD (Z-score) at the lumbar spine was -1.44 +/- 0.5 SD for patients and 0.04 +/- 0.2 SD for controls (P = 0.02). Bone mineral content was 37.9 +/- 4.5 g for patients and 49.4 +/- 2.6 g for controls (P = 0.049). Adjusted BMD was -0.62 +/- 0.5 SD for patients and 0.81 +/- 0.09 SD for controls (P = 0.04). After adjustment, four patients and none of the controls presented BMD < -1 SD (P = 0.01). Osteocalcin, CTX, calcium, and phosphorus blood levels were not significantly different between patients and controls. Celiac autoimmunity is associated with reduced bone mineralization in type 1 diabetic patients. The pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical relevance of this finding remain to be further investigated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to establish whether type 1 diabetes has a long-term effect on bone development in children and adolescents. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Bone characteristics and muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) were analyzed cross-sectionally in 41 (19 female and 22 male) patients and were reevaluated after 5.56 +/- 0.4 years using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT). We hypothesize that bone size and muscle mass normalize with age. RESULTS At the first evaluation, mean +/- SD age was 9.87 +/- 2.3 years and disease duration was 4.31 +/- 2.9 years. Height was -0.36 +/- 1.9 SD, and BMI was 0.39 +/- 0.9 SD. Parameters of bone size were low in the whole patient group (corrected for patient's height). At reevaluation, age was 15.44 +/- 2.3 years, and patients had a mean height of -0.12 +/- 0.8 SD. BMI SD had increased to 0.57 +/- 1.1. Total and cortical CSA had normalized. Those patients with an increase in total CSA had a significant younger age at disease manifestation and a younger age at initial pQCT measurement. Bone size was well adapted to muscle mass expressed as the ratio of bone mineral content per muscle mass, and a close correlation was shown between the increase in bone size and in muscle CSA (r = 0.46, P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Patients with manifestation of type 1 diabetes at an early age had transient impaired bone development. Within the follow-up period, the greatest increase in bone size was found in these patients. In adolescence, all patients had a normal bone size and appropriate adaptation of bone on muscle.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The risk of non-vertebral fractures is increased in men with type 1 diabetes (DM1) but studies have shown only moderately decreased or normal bone mineral density (BMD) in these patients. No previous studies have evaluated hip strength and geometry indices in DM1 patients. This study was therefore designed to characterize associations between BMD, dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-based hip strength indices, metabolic control, and DM1chronic complications. DESIGN AND METHODS The study was performed on 36 males aged 43.6 +/- 5.1 years with long-lasting DM1 and 36 healthy males matched for age, weight, and height. BMD in lumbar spine, total hip, upper and lower part of the femoral neck, hip axis length, cross-sectional area and moment of inertia (CSMI), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were measured. RESULTS DM1 men had decreased spine BMD (P < 0.05) and normal total hip BMD in comparison with controls. Hip geometry and strength indices were comparable in both groups. However, M1 men had decreased CSMI and upper femur BMD but these differences did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.06). BMD changes and hip strength parameters did not correlate with HbA1c. CONCLUSIONS Middle-aged DM1 men have decreased lumbar spine BMD, normal hip BMD and normal hip strength indices. These changes are not influenced by metabolic control and presence of chronic microvascular complications.
