| Research Abstract |
Type 2 diabetes is independent risk factor of vertebral fracture. These fractures are not predicted by bone mineral density, indicating that patients with type 2 diabetes have poor bone quality. Vertebral fractures risk is associated with increased serum level of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) or with relatively insufficient amount of endogenous secretory receptor for AGEs (esRAGE). These results suggest that AGEs-RAGE system affect bone quality. On the other hand, intima media thickness of internal carotid artery, which is one of index of arteriosclerosis, is related with vertebral fractures, suggesting that vertebral fractures and atherosclerosis have common pathologic condition.
