Association of the metabolic score for insulin resistance with bone mineral density and trabecular bone score in cancer patients: a cross-sectional study
In cancer patients, higher METS-IR is independently associated with greater BMD but not with better trabecular microarchitecture, suggesting that insulin resistance may mask impaired bone quality despite preserved BMD.
