Abstract
CONTEXT: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by high fracture risk, yet little is known regarding diabetes-related mechanisms or risk factors. OBJECTIVE: Determine whether glycemic control, advanced glycation end products (AGEs), and microvascular complications are associated with bone turnover markers among older T1D adults. DESIGN: Cross-sectional. SETTING: Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications study (6 of 27 clinical centers). PARTICIPANTS: 232 T1D participants followed for >30 years. EXPOSURES: Glycemic control ascertained as concurrent and cumulative hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c); kidney function, by estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR); and AGEs, by skin intrinsic fluorescence. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Serum procollagen 1 intact N-terminal propeptide (PINP), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (bone ALP), serum C-telopeptide (sCTX), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP5b), and sclerostin. RESULTS: Mean age was 59.6 ± 6.8 years, and 48% were female. In models with HbA1c, eGFR, and AGEs, adjusted for age and sex, higher concurrent HbA1c was associated with lower PINP [β -3.4 pg/mL (95% CI -6.1, -0.7), P = 0.015 for each 1% higher HbA1c]. Lower eGFR was associated with higher PINP [6.9 pg/mL (95% CI 3.8, 10.0), P < 0.0001 for each -20 mL/min/1.73 m2 eGFR], bone ALP [1.0 U/L (95% CI 0.2, 1.9), P = 0.011], sCTX [53.6 pg/mL (95% CI 32.6, 74.6), P < 0.0001], and TRACP5b [0.3 U/L (95% CI 0.1, 0.4), P = 0.002]. However, AGEs were not associated with any bone turnover markers in adjusted models. HbA1c, eGFR, and AGEs were not associated with sclerostin levels. CONCLUSIONS: Among older adults with T1D, poor glycemic control is a risk factor for reduced bone formation, while reduced kidney function is a risk factor for increased bone resorption and formation.
