Our study observed positive associations between BMD and markers of insulin resistance among a sample of adults. Correlations were stronger among diabetic subjects, and some associations between bone and glucose metabolism were independent of adiposity. Findings reinforce the need of further research for better understanding the bidirectional and multifactorial crosstalk between glucose homeostasis and bone metabolism.
