| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have an increased risk of fracture despite of their higher bone mineral density compared with non-diabetic subjects, suggesting that bone fragility in T2DM is deteriorated by poor bone quality. A role of microarchitecture, one component of bone quality, on fracture risk in this population is unclear.
Using images obtained from computed tomography for clinical use, bone strength of T2DM was calculated by the established procedure of finite element method giving known value on material property of postmenopausal women which is robuster than T2DM. Comparison of the computed bone strength index of diabetic patients with control subjects, significant difference was not observed. This result suggested that the calculation had been performed with excessive material property which may be capable to compensate deteriorated structural property, indirectly demonstrated that bone material property of T2DM was inferior to that of non-diabetic subjects.
