Description
Project Narrative
Diabetes mellitus affects 1 in 5 older adults in the US and is associated with significant medical
comorbidities, including increased fracture risk. However, the factors associated with this
fracture risk are not fully understood, and current clinical tests do not provide a sufficient
assessment. In focusing on the NIH goals of fostering innovative research strategies to improve
health and developing resources to prevent disease. The proposed research is relevant to
public health because identifying radiographic and metabolic markers of fracture risk among
older adults with diabetes will lead to increased understanding of bone strength in this
increasingly prevalent population and therefore to improved clinical assessment tools.
