Bone Strength Development Studies: Saskatchewan BSDS and Canadian BSDS (www.canbsds.ca)

The Bone Strength Development Study (BSDS) research program investigates how, when and why bone strength development differs in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) compared to those children without T1D. This work aims to explain the elevated fracture risk observed in children with T1D and inform strategies to optimize bone strength development and fracture prevention. The Canadian Bone Strength Development Study (CanBSDS) is the current national expansion of the original Saskatchewan BSDS.
