An increasing evidence base suggests that low bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures
are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). We conducted a systematic review and …

Osteoporosis is a serious health problem worldwide that is associated with an increased risk
of fractures and mortality. Vascular calcification is a well-defined independent risk factor for …

In the placebo group of the MORE study, including 2576 postmenopausal women (mean

Previous studies indicate that low bone mineral density (BMD) in the hip is a useful predictor
of cardiovascular mortality among the elderly. The objective of this study was to investigate …

A number of recent findings seem to indicate that fat and bone metabolism are strictly
connected. We investigated the relationship between lipid profile and bone mineral density …

Objective. To investigate whether aorta calcification (AC)–a surrogate marker of
atherosclerosis–is an independent indicator of low bone mass density (BMD), accelerated …
