摘要

Purpose

To synthesize evidence on the efficacy of osteoanabolic therapies (teriparatide, abaloparatide, romosozumab) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), focusing on changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures, and to explore whether responses differ between people with and without diabetes.

Findings

Following PRISMA guidelines, we searched PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase and Scopus databases till April 30, 2025 (PROSPERO: CRD420251044760). Five studies met criteria (n = 1,469 with T2D; n = 12,052 without diabetes): two post hoc analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (ACTIVE and ARCH trials) and three observational studies. Using random-effects model, osteoanabolic therapy in T2D increased lumbar spine BMD by a mean difference (MD) of 5.06% (95% CI: 1.62, 8.50; =93.3%). Sensitivity analysis restricted to RCTs demonstrated a larger, highly consistent effect at lumbar spine (MD 7.49%, 95% CI: 6.56, 8.41; =0%). Femoral neck BMD increased by 2.61% (95% CI: 1.84, 3.38; =0%). Evidence for fracture outcomes in T2D was limited to a single RCT (ACTIVE), in which non-vertebral fractures were reduced with abaloparatide versus placebo (p = 0.04), whereas new vertebral fractures were not different between groups. Two observational studies showed that in people with T2D, osteoanabolic agents improved BMD as much as, or more than, in non-diabetic individuals, while fracture rates were mostly similar between the groups.

Summary

Osteoanabolic agents yield meaningful BMD gains in T2D, particularly at lumbar spine, with modest improvements at femoral neck. Limited fracture data suggest possible benefit but remain underpowered, underscoring the need for diabetes-specific RCTs with fracture endpoints.
