GDF15 and type 2 diabetes mellitus: We note that in exploratory analyses, the SASP factors that were distinctly higher in T2DM than obese/non‐diabetic participants (GDF‐15 and IL‐8) did not demonstrate significant associations with measures of cortical bone (R = 0.17 and 0.09 for GDF15 and R = −0.02 and 0.01 for IL‐8 for tibial cortical area and thickness, respectively, all p > 0.05).
