| Abstract: | Background Some studies have implicated several possible metabolic linkages between osteoporosis and vascular calcification, including
estrogen deficiency, vitamin D excess, vitamin K deficiency and lipid oxidation products. Nevertheless, it remains unclear
whether osteoporosis and atherosclerosis are related to each other or are independent processes, both related to aging. The
aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the correlation between arterial thickening and bone status in a sample
of apparently healthy Moroccan women. |
