Association of trabecular bone score corrected for tissue thickness with glucose metabolism in acromegaly
The abnormal GM acromegaly subjects had lower TBS<sub>BMI</sub> than those with normal GM. TBS<sub>TT</sub> was higher than TBS<sub>BMI</sub>, and no between-group difference based on GM status was observed. TBS<sub>TT</sub> was significantly associated with GM parameters, notably HbA1c. The relationship of TBS<sub>TT</sub> with GM parameters may imply an effect of GM on trabecular bone microstructure in patients with acromegaly; a further study is indicated.
