As people are beginning to live longer, chronic non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and osteoporosis (reduction of bone mass) are becoming common. People with diabetes tend to be heavier and have increased bone mineral density (BMD); it was logically assumed that subjects with increased BMD were not prone to fractures, especially type 2 diabetes; however clinical studies were soon to show that despite an apparently high BMD, fractures were more common in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
