Associations of Albuminuria and Metabolic Syndrome Traits With Fracture Risk in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Population‐Based Cohort Study
In this large population-based cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes predominantly of Asian descent from Hong Kong, albuminuria emerged as an important predictor of fracture risk. MetS traits compound this risk, especially in non-obese individuals. These findings could be instrumental in shaping screening initiatives for fracture risk optimization in type 2 diabetes.
