Research Article: Association of trabecular bone score corrected for tissue thickness with glucose metabolism in acromegaly

Date Published: 2024-12-12

Abstract:
Introduction: Acromegaly is associated with increased vertebral fracture (VF) risk regardless of bone mineral density (BMD). However, the vertebral trabecular compartment is still low; a possible contributor to this may be impaired glucose metabolism (GM) which frequently complicates acromegaly. Additionally, soft tissue thickness may confound bone imaging in acromegaly patients.

Introduction:
Objective: This study aims to assess the association of GM with BMD, trabecular bone score adjusted for BMI (TBSBMI), and trabecular bone score adjusted for tissue thickness (TBSTT) among acromegaly subjects.
