OBJECTIVE. Normal to severely decreased bone mineral density has been reported in
children with type 1 diabetes. To detect possible abnormalities in bone mineralization,
geometry, and muscle bone unit, we measured selective parameters in children with type 1
diabetes using peripheral quantitative computed tomography. METHODS. Measurements of
the radius by peripheral quantitative computed tomography were made to assess cortical
and trabecular bone characteristics as well as muscle mass in 88 patients (42 girls, 46 boys)�…
