Association between type 2 diabetes and site‐specific fracture risk: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of cohort studies including over 13 million participants
T2D is associated with an increased risk of fractures, especially in lower limbs (hip, ankle and foot). These findings highlight the importance of targeted fracture prevention strategies and site-specific risk assessment for individuals with T2D. However, due to the heterogeneity among studies, caution is required in the interpretation of these findings.
