The images showed that individuals with type 2 diabetes have structural defects within their bones, which could weaken them and go some way to explaining the greater rates of fracture found in older men and women with the disease.

The effect of glucocorticoid treatment is most prominent on trabecular bone and is therefore likely to be larger on vertebral bone than on hip bone.3 Glucocorticoids are associated with an increased rate of fracture, and higher doses and longer use of glucocorticoids are associated with higher risks of fracture.4 Compared with patients not taking glucocorticoids, the risk of hip and vertebral fracture among patients taking glucocorticoids is increased by 60 % and 160 %, respectively.4 Among 80 - year - old patients, the hip fracture risk is increased by a magnitude of 2.1 and is independent of BMD.5 Most studies indicate that fracture risk is increased following at least 3 months of treatment with daily doses of 5 mg of prednisolone or more in older men and women.4

Studies in other countries (India, Peru and Japan) where calcium intake is low do not show an increased rate of bone fractures, but other variables make this data hard to interpret.

Supplement with calcium and vitamin D might increase * bone mineral density and decrease * fracture rates.

If «physical strength» to you means brittle bones and higher hip fracture rates, increased risk of various cancers, obesity, high blood sugar levels, etc... interesting interpretation of «strength» though.

The Opotowski team, which found that low vitamin A levels had as great an effect lowering BMD as did high vitamin A levels, suggested that vitamin A deficiency may contribute to increased fracture risk by allowing bone matrix to grow faster than it can be mineralized.12 Indeed, although the net effect of vitamin A is to stimulate osteoclasts and slow the growth of osteoblasts, vitamin A also causes osteoblasts to secrete a variety of enzymes and other proteins that are important to bone mineralization, including osteocalcin, which is a protein that plays a direct role in attracting and binding calcium within the bone matrix.6 By slowing the growth of the matrix but increasing the rate at which it is mineralized, adequate vitamin A helps to ensure sufficient bone density.

Osteoporosis medications prevent fractures by increasing bone density and reducing the rate of bone resorption.
