Diabetes Obes Metab.
  • An asymmetric bidirectional relationship exists between diabetes & osteoarthritis (OA)
  • Amongst UK Biobank subjects followed for 13.5 yrs, baseline diabetes was linked to earlier knee OA onset before BMI adjustment (TR 0.91; p<0.001), but not after BMI adjustment (TR 1.04)
  • Conversely, prevalent Knee OA (TR 0.91; p=0.005) & hand OA (TR 0.68; p=0.021) predicted earlier diabetes onset, independent of BMI.

Osteoporos. Int.
  • In 477,605 individuals (27,942 with T2D), 21,581 major osteoporotic fractures occurred over 1,358,739 person-years
  • Systemic glucocorticoid use increased fracture risk by 70% versus pre-treatment periods (IRR 1.70)
  • T2D did not modify glucocorticoid-associated fracture risk (interaction IRR 1.01); findings were consistent across age, sex, and sensitivity analyses.

J Endourol
  • This nationwide retrospective study of over one million men found that symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) was associated with a markedly increased risk of kidney stone formation
  • After propensity score matching, men with BPH were about 2.5 times more likely to develop stones across all age groups
  • The association may reflect fluid restriction behaviors or shared underlying biological mechanisms.

Chest
  • Eosinophilic AE-COPD (blood eosinophils ≥300/μL within 3 days before to 1 day after the event), was associated with a significantly lower 1-year risk of major adverse cardiovascular events vs non-eosinophilic AE-COPD
  • Eosinophilic AE-COPD was linked to reduced risks of heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, arrhythmias, and mortality, highlighting eosinophil count as a valuable cardiovascular risk biomarker.
