F2-Isoprostanes Are Associated With Increased Fracture Risk in Type 2 Diabetes

J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Observational cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Plasma F2-isoprostanes levels in individuals with diabetes are associated with increased incident clinical fracture risk independently of baseline BMD.

Study context

Population
Older Black and White ambulatory adults aged 70–79 years with baseline plasma F2-isoprostanes, from the Health, Aging, and Body Composition study cohort of 3075
Participants
132 vs 571
Exposure
Per SD increase in log plasma F2-isoprostanes, T2D vs nondiabetes
  • T2Dn = 132
  • Nondiabetesn = 571
Outcome
Incident clinical fracture risk
Methodological detailsmultivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazard model
  • Multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazard model

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Incident clinical fracture per SD increase in log plasma F2-isoprostanes
Per SD increase in log F2-isoprostanes
Hazard ratio (95% CI)P value
T2D
1.93(1.26–2.9)
P = 0.002
Nondiabetes
0.98(0.81–1.18)
P = 0.79

Per SD increase in log F2-isoprostanes, as printed

Interaction between diabetes status and F2-isoprostanes
P for interaction < 0.001

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Correlation of log F2-isoprostanes with total hip bone mineral density (BMD) in T2D

Baseline total hip BMD
r = −0.25, P = .003
4-year decrease in total hip BMD
r = −0.28, P = .008

Correlation with glycoxidation or bone turnover markers

No evidence of correlation in either group
