Assessment of bone health and risk of falls in young elderly patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and mild‐to‐moderate DN and mild‐to‐moderate DN finds mechanisms linking DN, bone health, and falling risk remain unclear.
Abstract
Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a recognised risk factor for fragility fractures. However, the mechanisms linking DN, bone health, and falling risk remain unclear. We aimed to assess bone health and risk of falls, with their contributing factors, in young elderly patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and mild‐to‐moderate DN.
