| Popis: | Based on the 2014 National Diabetes Statistics Report, 29.1 million people (9.3% of population) have diabetes mellitus (DM) within the United States. The same year, a report on the prevalence of osteoporosis in the United States estimated that 54 million adults greater than the age of 50 years are affected by low bone mass. Diabetes has emerged as an important risk factor for osteoporosis in the last 10 years. The staggering numbers of people affected by both these conditions begs a need to evaluate the possibility of a cause-and-effect relationship between these disorders, and to determine if the bone disease can be considered a complication of diabetes. Recent advancements in the management of diabetes, especially type 1 diabetes (DM1), have resulted in increased patient longevity, which in turn has brought into clinical focus disease-related comorbidities that were previously not a concern. |
