    Osteoporosis is a common but underdiagnosed complication in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), increasing fracture and mortality risks.

  • 2

    A multimodal machine learning model was developed using data from 1,002 T2DM patients to predict osteoporosis risk.

  • 3

    The eXtreme Gradient Boosting model achieved an AUC of 0.877 in training and 0.911 in external validation for osteoporosis detection.

  • 4

    Key predictors identified include age, hemoglobin, neutrophil count, uric acid, lymphocyte-to-HDL ratio, skeletal muscle index, and metabolic score.

  • 5

    The model's interpretability was enhanced using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), revealing significant contributions from age, hemoglobin, and uric acid.
