Bone mineralization is elevated and less heterogeneous in adults with type 2 diabetes and osteoarthritis compared to controls with osteoarthritis alone

► Mean bone calcium concentration (CaMEAN) is elevated in adults with type 2 diabetes. ► Mineralization heterogeneity (CaWIDTH) is lower in adults with type 2 diabetes. ► Bone quality differences may explain higher fracture risk in type 2 diabetes.
