Abstract

Increased life expectancy and increased obesity have contributed to an increasing incidence of osteoporosis and diabetes mellitus. Recent meta-analyses and cohort studies confirm that diabetes is associated with a higher risk of fracture. Patients with type 2 diabetes exhibit increased fracture risks despite a higher bone mass, which are mainly attributable to non-skeletal risk factors. Patients with type 1 diabetes may have impaired bone formation because of absence of the anabolic effects of insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) system. Several clinical studies have reported adverse skeletal actions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) agonist in humans. Obesity regulates bone metabolism not only by increasing weight loading but also by modulating adipokines that are known to affect bone remodeling.
