Abstract
BACKGROUND Brachial aortic Pulse Wave Velocity (baPWV) and bone mineral density (BMD) are important indicators of cardiovascular health and bone strength, respectively. However, the gender-specific association between baPWV and BMD remains unclear. The aim of our study is to evaluate the relationship between baPWV and BMD in men and women populations METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted in electronic databases for relevant studies published between the 1th and 30rd of April 2023. Studies reporting the correlation between baPWV and BMD in both males and females were considered. A random-effects model was used to calculate pooled correlation coefficients (r). RESULTS Relevant data for both genders were found in six articles. In all publications included in the meta-analysis, the total number of studied individuals was 3800, with 2054 women and 1746 men. Pooled correlation coefficient was -0,24 (95 % CI: -0.34; -0.15) in women population, and -0.12 (95 %CI: -0.16, -0.06) in men. CONCLUSIONS Based on the published data, we found that baPWV is negatively correlated with bone density in women. However, in men we do not find such a relationship. These findings suggest the importance of considering gender-specific factors when assessing the cardiovascular and bone health relationship.

The association between peripheral arterial disease and risk for hip fractures in elderly men is not explained by low hip bone mineral density. Results from the MrOS Sweden study. Osteoporos Int 2022; 33:2607-2617. [PMID: 35986119 PMCID: PMC9652164 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-022-06535-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED In this prospective study in Swedish elderly men, PAD based on an ABI < 0.9 was associated with an increased risk of hip fracture, independent of age and hip BMD. However, after further adjustments for comorbidity, medications, physical function, and socioeconomic factors, the association diminished and was no longer statistically significant. INTRODUCTION To examine if peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is associated with an increased risk for hip fracture in men independent of hip BMD. METHODS Ankle-brachial index (ABI) was assessed in the Swedish MrOS (Osteoporotic Fractures in Men) study, a prospective observational study including 3014 men aged 69-81 years at baseline. PAD was defined as ABI < 0.90. Incident fractures were assessed in computerized X-ray archives. The risk for hip fractures was calculated using Cox proportional hazard models. At baseline, BMD was assessed using DXA (Lunar Prodigy and Hologic QDR 4500) and functional measurements and blood samples were collected. Standardized questionnaires were used to collect information about medical history, falls, and medication. RESULTS During 10 years of follow-up, 186 men had an incident hip fracture. The hazard ratio (HR) for hip fracture in men with PAD was 1.70 (95% CI 1.14-2.54), adjusted for age and study site. Additional adjustment for total hip BMD marginally affected this association (HR 1.64; 95% CI 1.10-2.45). In a final multivariate model, the HR attenuated to a non-significant HR 1.38 (95% CI 0.91-2.11) adjusted for age, site, hip BMD, BMI, falls, smoking, eGFR, handgrip strength, walking speed, former hip fracture, antihypertensive treatment, diabetes, education, and history of cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSION This study suggests that PAD is associated with an increased risk for hip fracture independently of hip BMD in elderly Swedish men. However, the high frequency of comorbidity and lower physical performance among men with PAD might partly explain this association.

Abstract
Aim: Although atherosclerosis and osteoporosis (OP) are seen in elderly patients, it is still a matter of research whether there is an age-independent relationship between them. In our study, we planned to investigate the relationship between carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), OP, and bone turnover parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) of both sexes. Materials and Methods: A total of 69 patients and 40 healthy volunteers with chronic diseases such as DM2, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and OP. Group 1 had 27 patients with DM2 and OP, group 2 had 42 patients with DM2 and no OP, and group 3 had 40 healthy volunteers without DM2 and OP. Results: In the control group, CIMT was measured lower than the patients with DM2 (0.8 + 0.1 and 1.1 + 0.3, P < 0.001, respectively). Femur T score and lumbar T score values of patients with DM2 were lower than the control group (-0.48 + 1.1 and 0.7 + 0.6, P < 0.001, and -1.3 + 1.5 and 0.6 + 0.5, P < 0.001, respectively). Bone turnover markers in DM2 compared to the control group (C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen: 240.9 ± 211.1 and 606.5 ± 200.8, P < 0.001; bone-specific alkaline phosphatase: 47.9 ± 15.5 and 431.5 ± 140, P < 0.001; and osteocalcin: 13.2 ± 5.0 and 19.7 ± 9.2, P < 0.001, respectively) were lower. Patients with femoral region (TSF) T score and lumbar region (TSL) T score below -2.5 were found to have higher CIMT values than those without (1.2 ± 0.23 mm and 0.9 ± 0.23 mm, P = 0.006, and 1.1 ± 0.28 mm and 0.95 ± 0.21 mm, P = 0.003, respectively). In linear regression analysis, age (β = 0.01, P < 0.001), OP (β = 0.166, P = 0.001), and DDM2 (β = 0.222, P = 0.04) were found to be effective on CIMT, while DM2 (β) = -0.754, P < 0.001), CIMT (β = -0.258, P = 0.021), body mass index (β = 0.355, P = 0.028), and age (β = -0.229, P = 0.029) were found to be independent factors on TSF. Conclusion: Bone turnover and bone mineral density are decreased in DM2 patients. In addition, subclinical atherosclerosis is more common in DM2 patients. Findings suggest that there is a relationship between subclinical atherosclerosis and OP due to metabolic factors other than age.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The association between peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and osteoporosis in elderly men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains unclear. We demonstrated the association between subclinical PAD and decreased total hip bone mineral density (BMD) in men aged ≥ 55 years with T2DM, providing clinical clues for the early detection of decreased bone density in total hip. PURPOSE To investigate the association between subclinical peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and bone mineral density (BMD) at total hip, femoral neck, and lumbar spine (L1-4) in elderly men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS We identified 2,466 patients with confirmed diabetes in this retrospective cross-sectional study. A total of 272 men aged ≥ 55 years with T2DM (50 with subclinical PAD and 222 without PAD) were analyzed. Partial correlation analysis was conducted to explore the associations between ankle-brachial index (ABI) and BMD. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the contributor for low bone density (T-score < - 1.0). RESULTS Patients with T2DM and subclinical PAD (ABI ≤ 0.9) had significantly lower total hip BMD and T-score (BMD, 0.87 ± 0.14 vs. 0.92 ± 0.15 g/cm2, P = 0.014; T-score, -1.30 [-1.70 to -0.45] vs. -0.80 [-1.40 to 0.00], P = 0.009) than those in the control group. The partial correlation analyses indicated that ABI significantly correlated with the total hip T-score (adjusted r = 0.166, P = 0.009). The logistic regression analysis indicated that subclinical PAD was an independent risk factor for the risk of decreased bone density in total hip (adjusted odds ratio [95% CI]: 8.933 [1.075-74.222], P = 0.043). CONCLUSION: Subclinical PAD (ABI ≤ 0.9) could be used as a risk factor for decreased total hip BMD in men aged ≥ 55 years with T2DM, which provides clinical clues for the early detection of low bone density in total hip in such populations.

Abstract
Background Although biological links are unclear, low bone density and atherosclerosis are inversely associated. This study evaluated the association between bone mineral density (BMD) and coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) findings, including coronary artery calcification (CAC) score and the presence, extent, and composition of coronary atherosclerotic plaque (CAP) in asymptomatic women. Methods A symptomatic women aged ≥40 years (N=2, 100; median age, 52 years; range, 40–80 years) were selected from a retrospective observational cohort and stratified into normal, osteopenia, and osteoporosis groups according to BMD T-score grades. We evaluated CAC score and assessed the presence, extent, and stenosis severity of CAP on CCTA. Additionally, CAP was categorized as calcified, mixed, or non-calcified according to calcified component valiums (>130 Hounsfield units). Results Osteopenia and osteoporosis were found in 28.8% and 5.3% of participants, respectively. CAC score and CAC severity significantly increased with decreased BMD grades (from normal to osteoporosis). The presence of CAP (overall, 15.6%; normal, 12.6%; osteopenia, 20.2%; osteoporosis, 28.8%; P<0.001) and number of segments with CAP significantly increased with decreased BMD grades. Furthermore, the number of segments with calcified or mixed plaques, excluding non-calcified plaques, increased with decreased BMD grades. Although most associations were attenuated or disappeared after adjusting for age and other covariates, calcified plaques showed a strong and age-independent association with BMD grades. Conclusions The presence and severity of CAC and CAP were significantly associated with BMD severity in asymptomatic women, particularly for the presence of calcified plaques. Further studies are required to determine the association between vascular calcification and bone health status.

Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the association between carotid plaque and lumbar spine osteoporosis in post-menopausal women.Study designAge-matched, cross-sectional study.Main outcome measuresCarotid plaque and carotid intima media thickness were measured with B-mode ultrasound. Lumbar spine bone mineral density was measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Prevalence odds ratios and the respective 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated to determine the association.ResultsSeventy-two post-menopausal women with lumbar spine osteoporosis and 72 post-menopausal women with normal lumbar spine bone mineral density were enrolled. The adjusted prevalence odds ratio of carotid plaque presence in post-menopausal women with lumbar spine osteoporosis was 1.73 (95%CI; 0.60 to 4.94) when compared to post-menopausal women with normal lumbar spine bone mineral density. The presence of vulnerable plaque was greater in post-menopausal women with lumbar spine osteoporosis; however, the difference was not statistically significant after adjusting for other risk factors of cardiovascular disease (odds ratio 1.31; 95%CI; 0.39 to 4.43). There was no significant difference in carotid intima media thickness between the two groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis with backward elimination in assessment of potential risk factors for the presence of carotid plaque showed that the year since menopause, family history of cardiovascular disease and systolic blood pressure were nominally significant associated factors with a respective adjusted odds ratio of 1.06 (95%CI; 1.01 to 1.12), 6.23 (95%CI; 1.65 to 23.46) and 1.03 (95%CI; 1.01 to 1.06).ConclusionsThe current study indicates that lumbar spine osteoporosis is not associated with the presence of carotid plaque, whereas year since menopause, family history of cardiovascular disease and systolic blood pressure are associated factors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteoporosis and fractures are important public health issues that impose serious burdens on patients. Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) have low bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk for fracture. We aimed to explore the association between SSc and BMD and fracture risk. METHODS For this meta-analysis, we analyzed data from articles that reported mean differences in BMD or fracture risk between patients with SSc and controls. We undertook a systematic literature search of the PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases. The pooled weighted mean difference (WMD) was used to estimate the mean difference in BMD between patients with SSc and controls. Pooled odds ratios (ORs; with 95% confidence intervals [95% CIs]) were used to assess the association between SSc and fracture risk. RESULTS Analysis of the results from 18 studies showed that patients with SSc had significantly lower BMD than controls in the following categories: whole body (WMD - 0.07, 95% CI - 0.1 to - 0.04, p < 0.00001), lumbar spine (WMD - 0.08, 95% CI - 0.11 to - 0.05, p < 0.00001), femoral neck (WMD: -0.28, 95% CI: -0.46 to -0.10, p=0.002), total hip (WMD - 0.10, 95% CI - 0.14 to - 0.06, p < 0.00001), and femoral trochanter (WMD - 0.06, 95% CI - 0.09 to - 0.03, p < 0.0001). Moreover, patients with SSc had an increased risk of vertebral fracture (OR 10.38, 95% CI 1.19 to 90.58, p = 0.03). We did not find a significant difference in the risk of osteoporotic fracture between patients with SSc and controls (OR = 2.24, 95% CI 0.58 to 8.59, p = 0.24). CONCLUSION Patients with SSc have a significant reduction in bone mass, and these patients have an increased risk of vertebral fracture. The early monitoring of BMD in patients with SSc is recommended for the prevention of osteoporosis and fracture.Key points• SSc patients have a significant low BMD• SSc patients also have an increased risk of vertebral fracture.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The association between osteoporosis and atherosclerosis remains controversial. We sought to define the relationship between carotid intima-media thickness and bone mineral density (BMD) in individuals of Vietnamese background. DESIGN AND SETTING Cross-sectional study in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. PARTICIPANTS The study involved 1460 individuals (559 men) aged 50 years and older (average age 59 years) who were randomly recruited from the community. OUTCOME MEASURES BMD at the femoral neck and lumbar spine was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (Hologic, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA). Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) was measured using a Philips Ultrasonography (HD7XE). The presence of atherosclerotic plaque was ascertained for each individual. The association between cIMT and BMD was analysed by a multiple linear regression model. RESULTS In unadjusted analysis, cIMT was positively associated with femoral neck BMD in men (p=0.005), but not in women (p=0.242). After adjusting for age, smoking, diabetes and hypertension, the association remained statistically significant in men (partial R2=0.005; p=0.015) but not in women (partial R2=0.008; p=0.369). When the analysis was limited to individuals aged 60 years and older, the association between cIMT and BMD was no longer statistically significant. There was no statistically significant association between cIMT and lumbar spine BMD in either men or women. CONCLUSIONS In Vietnamese individuals aged 50 years and older, there is a clinically non-significant but statistically significant association between carotid intima-media thickness and BMD in men, not in women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore whether bone mineral density (BMD) is associated with arterial stiffness in middle-aged and elderly people with an advanced arterial stiffness index as indicated by the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING This study was conducted from September 2015 to May 2017 at the geriatrics department of a provincial medical centre in China. PARTICIPANTS A total of 580 patients aged 50 and over were enrolled in the study. The mean age of the group was 64.82±11.4 years, and 63.1% were male. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES Associations of age with CAVI values and BMD. Associations between BMD and CAVI values. RESULTS With increasing age, CAVI values gradually increased (p<0.001) and the femoral neck (FN) and total hip (TH) BMD gradually decreased (p<0.001, all). In the bivariate correlation analyses between the covariates and CAVI values, age and CAVI values showed the greatest positive correlation (r=0.631, p<0.001), and CAVI values were negatively correlated with FN BMD (r=-0.229, p<0.001) and TH BMD (r=-0.218, p<0.001). In the linear regression analyses, TH BMD (B=-1.812 (95% CI -2.475 to -1.149), p<0.001) and FN BMD (B=-1.968 (95% CI -2.651 to -1.284), p<0.001) were negatively correlated with CAVI values. After adjusting for age, gender, body mass index, smoking, history of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease, history of diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood uric acid, fibrinogen and estimated glomerular filtration rate, only TH BMD was still negatively correlated with CAVI values (B=-0.843 (95%CI -1.454 to -0.232), p=0.007). However, there was no consistent and significant correlation between lumbar spine BMD and CAVI values. CONCLUSION In this cross-sectional study, a significant correlation between TH BMD and CAVI values was observed in middle-aged and elderly Chinese inpatients. However, our cohort was a small sample of inpatients, and prospective studies from more centres are expected.

Osteoporosis is inversely associated with arterial stiffness in the elderly: An investigation using the Osteoporosis Self-assessment Tool for Asians index in an elderly Chinese cohort. J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich) 2019; 21:405-411. [PMID: 30734463 DOI: 10.1111/jch.13493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2018] [Revised: 12/27/2018] [Accepted: 12/28/2018] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Although the association of arterial stiffness and osteoporosis has been reported, the relation of arterial stiffness with risk of osteoporosis and bone fracture is not established. The authors investigated the correlation between arterial stiffness (brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity [baPWV]), including a cutoff value, and risk of osteoporosis as assessed by the Osteoporosis Self-assessment Tool for Asia (OSTA) index in 129 elderly Chinese community-dwelling individuals (age 83.2 ± 12.8 years, 63 females). OSTA was negatively correlated with baPWV (r = -0.326, P = 0.023) after adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, body mass index, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, estimated glomerular filtration rate, absence or presence of diabetes, absence or presence of hypertension, and uric acid. baPWV was an independent factor for changes in OSTA (β = -0.001, P = 0.002). ROC curve analysis confirmed association between baPWV and OSTA index (AUC = 0.742 [CI: 0.660, 0.824]; P < 0.001) with a baPWV cutoff value of 1676 cm/s (sensitivity, 80.7%; specificity, 60%) for prediction of high OSTA index. The study showed a significant correlation between OSTA index and baPWV, suggesting a potential predictive value of baPWV in elderly patient at high risk of osteoporosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Loss of bone mass may affect the progression of atherosclerosis. We investigated the relationship between low bone mineral density (BMD) and subclinical atherosclerosis in rural China. METHODS In total, 333 men and 421 postmenopausal women aged 55-65 years were enrolled. BMD was measured in the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Subclinical atherosclerosis was defined as increased carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT ≥0.9 mm), the presence of carotid plaques, high brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV ≥1,400 cm/s), and low ankle-brachial index (ABI ≤1). Binary logistic regression analyses were used to estimate the association between low BMD and subclinical atherosclerosis. RESULTS There was no significant difference in BMD between the normal group and the subclinical atherosclerosis group. After full adjustment for the relevant covariates, a boundary significant association was found between low BMD in the femoral neck and baPWV in postmenopausal women (odds ratio = 1.77, p = 0.049). After full adjustment, neither BMD nor low BMD were significantly associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in men or postmenopausal women. CONCLUSIONS Low BMD is not associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in Chinese individuals aged 55-65 years resident in rural China.

The associations of subclinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease with hip fracture risk and bone mineral density in elderly adults. Osteoporos Int 2018; 29:2219-2230. [PMID: 30132027 PMCID: PMC6487649 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-018-4611-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2018] [Accepted: 06/18/2018] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
UNLABELLED In the absence of clinically recognized cardiovascular disease, increased carotid artery intimal medial thickness was associated with higher hip fracture risk in older adults, despite its association with higher bone mineral density (BMD). Low ankle brachial index and aortic wall thickness were not associated with fracture risk or BMD. INTRODUCTION Clinically recognized cardiovascular disease (CVD) is associated with osteoporosis and hip fracture risk, but the relationship of subclinical atherosclerosis to bone health is not certain. METHODS We followed 3385 participants from the Cardiovascular Health Study (mean age 74.7 ± 5.3 years) with a median time to fracture of 12.1 years who underwent baseline carotid artery and aortic wall ultrasound scanning and ankle brachial blood pressure index (ABI) determinations. A subset underwent bone mineral density (BMD) testing. RESULTS There were 494 hip fractures during follow-up. Among persons without clinical CVD, an average standard-deviation increase in a composite score of maximal common and internal carotid artery intimal medial thickness (cIMT) was associated with increased risk of hip fracture [(HR 1.18 [1.04, 1.35]), even though cIMT was positively associated with BMD. Neither aortic wall thickness nor ABI were associated with hip fracture risk or BMD. Among participants with clinical CVD, cIMT and aortic wall thickness, but not ABI, were associated with increased hip fracture risk. CONCLUSION Subclinical cIMT is associated with an increased risk of hip fractures despite being associated with increased BMD. This finding suggests that vascular health, even in its early stages, is linked to bone health, by pathways other than BMD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have suggested that Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is associated with atherosclerotic process, while the relationship between pepsinogens, gastrin and atherosclerosis is unknown. AIM The aim of the study was to observe association of Hp infection on atherosclerotic parameters and blood pressure, and explore the relationship between atherosclerotic parameters, blood pressure and gastric biomarkers in a healthy population. METHODS 395 subjects were chosen and received physical examinations, carotid artery ultrasound, peripheral atherosclerosis measurement, and testing of serum pepsinogen (PG) I and II, Hp antibody, and gastrin-17 (G-17) levels. Analyses were conducted by Student's t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, multiple linear regression and binary logistic regression. RESULTS In Hp-infected subjects, right carotid intima media thickness (R-CIMT) were higher (P = 0.027) and left ankle brachial index were higher in 45-64 years compared to 35-44 years group (P = 0.039, P = 0.016). Hp-IgG, PGI and G-17 respectively positively correlated with CIMT, pulse wave velocity and systolic blood pressure (P = 0.044, P = 0.013, P = 0.021). The unadjusted OR in subjects with elevated CIMT for quartile IV of PGI was 3.542 (95% CI, 1.491-8.411), the adjusted OR was 2.916 (95% CI, 1.035-8.216). The unadjusted OR in subjects with elevated CIMT for quartile III of G-17 was 4.351 (95% CI, 1.670-11.336) and for quartile IV was 3.108 (95% CI, 1.149-8.406), the adjusted OR for quartile III was 4.962 (95% CI, 1.515-16.258). CONCLUSIONS Hp infection, higher levels of PGI and G-17 may contribute to atherosclerotic process by influencing atherosclerotic parameters and blood pressure in a healthy population, the influence on CIMT was most significant.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the link between bone alteration and micro- and macro-vascular disease in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Results 33 SSc patients were included. In univariate analysis, low values of cortical vBMD were significantly associated with a low DBI at the 2nd finger (p = 0.004) and at the 4th (p = 0.002) and with severe capillaroscopic score (p = 0.008). In multivariate analyses, low cortical vBMD was associated with a low DBI at the 4th finger, age and severe capillaroscopic score (adjusted R2 = 0.58; p = < 0.001). Low cortical thickness was associated with a low DBI at the 4th finger, severe capillaroscopic score and age (adjusted R2 = 0.49, p = < 0.001). Conclusion Our study findings showed an association between micro- and macro-vessel damage and altered microarchitectural indices at the radius in SSc. Methods We performed a pilot study in female patients with SSc. Microvascular disease was assessed by the capillaroscopic score of Cutolo. Macrovascular involvement was measured by digito-brachial pressure index (DBI) on laser-Doppler at the 2nd and 4th finger. Volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and bone microarchitecture involvement were analysed by High-Resolution peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HRpQCT) at the distal radius.

Abstract
Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) and osteoporosis (OP) are common diseases in
postmenopausal women. In both cross-sectional and longitudinal epidemiologic
studies, low bone mass has been related to increased frequency of CAD.
However, available data on the relationship between bone mineral density
(BMD) and severity of coronary lesions is limited. Objective To investigate association between the BMD and severity of coronary lesions
assessed by Gensini score in postmenopausal women. Methods This study included 122 postmenopausal women who were diagnosed with CAD.
These patients were divided into two groups according to the severity of
coronary lesions assessed by the Gensini score - patients with mild coronary
lesions (Gensini score < 25) and patients with severe coronary lesions
(Gensini score ≥ 25). Femoral neck mineral density was measured with
dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Results The study included postmenopausal women aged 64.31 ± 4.71 years, 85 of
whom (69.7%) exhibited severe coronary lesions. Participants with severe
coronary lesions had a significantly higher T score than did those with mild
coronary lesions at the femoral neck (p < 0.05). The mean T-score was
−0.84 ± 1.01 in mild coronary lesions group, −1.42 ± 1.39 in
severe coronary lesions group (p < 0.05). Multivariable logistic
regression analysis showed that osteopenia-osteoporosis at the Femoral neck
(odds ratio 2.73; 95% confidence interval 1.06 to 6.13) was associated with
an increased risk of developing severe coronary lesions. The multiple
regression model showed that T-scores (b = −0.407, SE = 0.151, p=0.007) were
the independent predictors of Gensini score. Conclusion The relationship between severity of coronary lesions and BMD was significant
in postmenopausal women. BMD, a low-cost technique involving minimal
radiation exposure, widely used for osteoporosis screening, is a promising
marker of severity of coronary lesions.

Abstract
Objective Associations between vascular calcification and osteoporosis are well documented, yet effects of lifestyle on atherosclerosis and osteoporosis remain unclear. This study evaluated the relationship between atherosclerosis and osteoporosis of people with different lifestyles living on Uku Island in Japan (rice consumption and fishing lifestyle) and in Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia (meat consumption and nomadic lifestyle), and investigated the differences of lifestyles on atherosclerosis and osteoporosis. Methods Participants were women aged over 50 years who had undergone a previous medical examination for atherosclerosis and osteoporosis (Uku Island, 104, Ulaanbaatar, 71). Lifestyle habits were obtained by questionnaire. Bone mineral density of the right calcaneus was measured using quantitative ultrasound. Brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity was measured as an index of atherosclerosis. Results There were no significant differences in bone mineral density and brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity between the two groups, even though meat and dairy intake, number of meals skipped, and number of children were significantly greater in participants from Ulaanbaatar compared with Uku Island. Brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity showed significant positive correlations with age, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and body mass index and a significant negative correlation with bone mineral density for both groups. With step‐wise multiple regression analysis, brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity significantly correlated with age and bone mineral density for both populations. Systolic blood pressure significantly correlated with brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity for the Ulaanbaatar group. Conclusions Despite significant lifestyle differences, similar relationships between atherosclerosis and osteoporosis were observed in women from Uku Island and Ulaanbaatar. Hypertension was a significant contributing factor for atherosclerosis for the Ulaanbaatar group.

Abstract
Bone mineral density (BMD) has been suggested to be associated with atherosclerosis. In the present study, we evaluated the association between lumbar BMD and the segments of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), a surrogate marker of subclinical atherosclerosis, in Korean adults, with consideration of sex and menopause status. Among 1,679 Korean adults who enrolled in a Healthy Twin Study, 723 men, 690 premenopausal women, and 266 postmenopausal women measured the CIMT at the common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT), carotid bifurcation intima-media thickness (BIF-IMT), internal carotid artery intima-media thickness (ICA-IMT) using B-mode ultrasound and lumbar BMD using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The composite CIMT was calculated as the mean value of three CIMTs. The association was evaluated using linear mixed models. In premenopausal women, lumbar BMD was positively associated with composite CIMT and with CCA-IMT (P = 0.008 and 0.002, respectively). However, no association was observed between BMD and CIMT in men or in postmenopausal women. Stratified analysis revealed the effect of body mass index (BMI) on the association between BMD and CIME. The positive association in premenopausal women persisted only in low BMI (< 25 kg/m²) group, whereas a positive association appeared at high BMI (≥ 25 kg/m²) group in men. A high lumbar BMD may indicate an elevated risk of subclinical atherosclerosis in premenopausal women and men with high BMI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It is highly debated whether associations between osteoporosis and atherosclerosis are independent of cardiovascular risk factors. We aimed to explore the associations between quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters at the heel with the carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT), the presence of carotid artery plaques, and the ankle-brachial index (ABI). METHODS The study population comprised 5680 men and women aged 20-93 years from two population-based cohort studies: Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP) and SHIP-Trend. QUS measurements were performed at the heel. The extracranial carotid arteries were examined with B-mode ultrasonography. ABI was measured in a subgroup of 3853 participants. Analyses of variance and linear and logistic regression models were calculated and adjusted for major cardiovascular risk factors. RESULTS Men but not women had significantly increased odds for carotid artery plaques with decreasing QUS parameters independent of diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Beyond this, the QUS parameters were not significantly associated with IMT or ABI in fully adjusted models. CONCLUSIONS Our data argue against an independent role of bone metabolism in atherosclerotic changes in women. Yet, in men, associations with advanced atherosclerosis, exist. Thus, men presenting with clinical signs of osteoporosis may be at increased risk for atherosclerotic disease.

Hyperuricemia protects against low bone mineral density, osteoporosis and fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur J Clin Invest 2016; 46:920-930.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum uric acid (SUA) accounts for about 50% of extracellular antioxidant activity, suggesting that hyperuricemia may have a protective role in diseases characterized by high levels of oxidative stress, such as osteoporosis. We aimed to meta-analyse data regarding bone mineral density (BMD), osteoporosis and fractures in people with higher SUA vs. lower SUA concentrations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two investigators conducted a literature search using PubMed and Scopus, without language restrictions. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used for BMD; risk ratios (RRs) and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for cross-sectional data. Most possible adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were used to assess the association between baseline SUA and incident fractures. RESULTS Of 1405 initial hits, 19 studies were eligible including a total of 55 859 participants. Subjects with higher SUA levels had significantly higher BMD values for the spine (six studies; SMD = 0·29; 95% CI: 0·22-0·35; I2 = 47%), total hip (seven studies; SMD = 0·29; 95% CI: 0·24-0·34; I2 = 33%) and femoral neck (six studies; SMD = 0·25; 95% CI: 0·16-0·34; I2 = 71%). Simple correlation analyses substantially confirmed these findings. An increase of one standard deviation in SUA levels reduced the number of new fractures at follow-up (three studies; HR = 0·83; 95% CI: 0·74-0·92; I2 = 0%). No significant differences between men and women emerged, although data about women were limited. CONCLUSIONS Hyperuricemia was found independently associated with BMD and fractures, supporting a protective role for uric acid in bone metabolism disorders.

Abstract
The extracellular calcium (Ca(2+) o)-sensing receptor (CaSR) is a family C G protein-coupled receptor, which detects alterations in Ca(2+) o concentrations and modulates parathyroid hormone secretion and urinary calcium excretion. The central role of the CaSR in Ca(2+) o homeostasis has been highlighted by the identification of mutations affecting the CASR gene on chromosome 3q21.1. Loss-of-function CASR mutations cause familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH), whereas gain-of-function mutations lead to autosomal dominant hypocalcaemia (ADH). However, CASR mutations are only detected in ≤70% of FHH and ADH cases, referred to as FHH type 1 and ADH type 1, respectively, and studies in other FHH and ADH kindreds have revealed these disorders to be genetically heterogeneous. Thus, loss- and gain-of-function mutations of the GNA11 gene on chromosome 19p13.3, which encodes the G-protein α-11 (Gα11) subunit, lead to FHH type 2 and ADH type 2, respectively; whilst loss-of-function mutations of AP2S1 on chromosome 19q13.3, which encodes the adaptor-related protein complex 2 sigma (AP2σ) subunit, cause FHH type 3. These studies have demonstrated Gα11 to be a key mediator of downstream CaSR signal transduction, and also revealed a role for AP2σ, which is involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis, in CaSR signalling and trafficking. Moreover, FHH type 3 has been demonstrated to represent a more severe FHH variant that may lead to symptomatic hypercalcaemia, low bone mineral density and cognitive dysfunction. In addition, calcimimetic and calcilytic drugs, which are positive and negative CaSR allosteric modulators, respectively, have been shown to be of potential benefit for these FHH and ADH disorders.

Abstract
[Purpose] Osteoporosis is an inflammatory disease, and platelets play a critical role in bone remodeling. Mean platelet volume has been shown to be influenced by inflammation. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between mean platelet volume and bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. [Subjects and Methods] The records of female patients who had been referred to a tertiary hospital for bone mineral density analysis were retrospectively reviewed. [Results] A total of 175 patients (mean age: 61.3 ± 9.0 years) were enrolled. Overall, 72% (126/175) of patients met the criteria for osteoporosis. Mean platelet volume was found to be inversely correlated with body mass index. There was a significant positive correlation between mean platelet volume and femoral neck bone mineral density in our normal weight osteoporotic group, whereas there was a significant negative correlation in our overweight-obese osteoporotic group. The negative correlation between mean platelet volume and femoral neck bone mineral density in the overweight-obese osteoporotic group persisted after adjustment for confounding factors. Multivariate analyses revealed that mean platelet volume was significantly associated with femoral neck bone mineral density in osteoporotic patients in both our normal weight and overweight-obese groups. [Conclusion] Regardless of mechanisms, mean platelet volume might be used as a biomarker for osteoporosis in clinical settings.

Abstract
Background There is conflicting evidence regarding the association between decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and atherosclerosis. To this end, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to clarify the association. Methods To identify relevant studies, PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched up to November 2015. All observational and comparative studies directly investigating the relationship between decreased BMD and clinical consequences of atherosclerotic vascular abnormalities, including carotid artery calcification (CAC), cardiovascular disease (CAD), and coronary artery disease (CAD) were obtained, without limitation of language or publication year. Results A total of 25 studies involving 10,299 patients were included. The incidence of atherosclerotic vascular abnormalities was significantly increased in low BMD patients, compared to patients with normal BMD (OR, 1.81, 95% CI [1.01, 2.19], p<0.00001)). Similar results were also observed for postmenopausal women (OR, 2.23, 95% CI [1.72, 2.89], p<0.00001). Subgroup analyses of osteopenia, osteoporosis, and normal BMD also revealed that the combined ORs for the incidence of atherosclerotic vascular abnormalities increased as BMD decreased. Of note, after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index (BMI) and other vascular risk factors, decreased BMD remained significantly associated with the incidence of atherosclerotic vascular abnormalities (OR, 2.96, 95% CI [2.25, 3.88], p < 0.00001). Conclusions Based on the results of this study, decreased BMD is an independent predictor for the development of atherosclerosis in elderly individuals. Moreover, the risk of atherosclerotic vascular abnormalities increased as BMD decreased. Future studies focusing on individuals with different severities of atherosclerosis and comorbidities are of interest.

Abstract
Improving meat quality is the best way to enhance profitability and strengthen competitiveness in beef industry. Identification of genetic variants that control beef quality traits can help breeders design optimal breeding programs to achieve this goal. We carried out a genome-wide association study for meat quality traits in 1141 Simmental cattle using the Illumina Bovine HD 770K SNP array to identify the candidate genes and genomic regions associated with meat quality traits for beef cattle, including fat color, meat color, marbling score, longissimus muscle area, and shear force. In our study, we identified twenty significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (p < 1.47 × 10(-6)) associated with these five meat quality traits. Notably, we observed several SNPs were in or near eleven genes which have been reported previously, including TMEM236, SORL1, TRDN, S100A10, AP2S1, KCTD16, LOC506594, DHX15, LAMA4, PREX1, and BRINP3. We identified a haplotype block on BTA13 containing five significant SNPs associated with fat color trait. We also found one of 19 SNPs was associated with multiple traits (shear force and longissimus muscle area) on BTA7. Our results offer valuable insights to further explore the potential mechanism of meat quality traits in Simmental beef cattle.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We investigated the association among diagnosed osteoporosis, osteoporotic fractures, and carotid artery calcification (CAC) detected on panoramic radiographs. Additionally, we assessed whether osteoporosis or fractures could be predicted by an incidental finding of CAC. STUDY DESIGN One thousand twenty-one patients participated in this study. Patients completed a structured questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis adjusted for covariates was used to calculate the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for diagnosed osteoporosis or fractures according to the presence of CAC. Extended receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to clarify whether osteoporosis or fractures were predicted by the detection of CAC. RESULTS The odds ratios for diagnosed osteoporosis or fracture associated with CAC were 1.82 (1.02-3.24) and 0.77 (0.33-1.77), respectively. The areas under the ROC curves for identifying patients with osteoporosis or fractures according to the detection of CAC were 0.54 and 0.50, respectively. CONCLUSIONS CAC may not be useful for identifying Japanese individuals with osteoporosis or those at risk of fracture, although the presence of CAC was significantly associated with a history of diagnosed osteoporosis without osteoporotic fractures.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This study analyzes the association between serum uric acid levels and heel quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters in men aged 50 or more from the Camargo cohort. We found that higher serum uric acid levels are positively associated with all QUS measurements, suggesting a better bone quality in men with elevated serum uric acid values. INTRODUCTION Higher serum uric acid concentrations have been associated with higher bone mineral density and lower prevalence of fractures. However, there are no studies that have assessed the bone quality properties in Caucasians. Therefore, we have analyzed the association between quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and serum uric acid levels in adult men from a population-based cohort. METHODS A total of 868 men older than 50 were recruited from a larger cohort (Camargo Cohort) after excluding those with any known condition or drug treatment with a possible influence on bone metabolism, or those with a previous diagnosis of gout or taking hipouricemic agents. Bone turnover markers (PINP and CTX), 25OH-vitamin D and PTH levels were measured by electrochemiluminiscence. BMD was determined by DXA, and heel QUS with a gel-coupled device. RESULTS Lumbar, femoral neck and total hip BMD was significantly higher in men with higher serum uric acid levels. QUS parameters were also significantly higher in men with high uric acid levels than those with lower values, and increased continuously across quartiles after adjustment for confounding variables. In multiple regression analysis, serum uric acid was significantly associated with all QUS parameters. Finally, men with serum acid levels above median showed higher values in all the QUS parameters than men with lower values. CONCLUSIONS Higher serum uric acid levels in men older than 50 years are positively associated with QUS parameters. These data might suggest a better bone quality in men with elevated serum uric acid values.

AIMS Many epidemiological studies have shown that low bone mineral density (BMD) and atherosclerosis appear to be related. However, their precise correlation is not completely understood after full adjustment the shared confounders of atherosclerosis and bone metabolism. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between BMD and subclinical atherosclerosis in a healthy Chinese population and the difference in gender. METHODS The study population consisted of 2,487 subjects (1,467 men, 1,020 women) who participated in health check-up programs and were selected to be free of major diseases which might affect atherosclerosis and bone metabolism. Bone status was assessed by BMD in lumbar spine. The brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV) was assessed as a functional marker of atherosclerosis. The ankle-brachial index (ABI), carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGRF) and microalbuminuria were evaluated as indexes of structural markers of atherosclerosis. RESULTS After adjustment for risk factors, significant association was shown between baPWV and BMD in both genders (male: r=-0.084, P=0.035; female: r=-0.088, P=0.014). The correlation was stronger in females than in males, and in females, the correlation was stronger after menopause. Similarly, mean baPWV differed significantly according to the decreased BMD (normal BMD, Osteopenia, Osteoporosis). In contrast, no significant differences were observed for ABI, CIMT, eGFR or microalbuminuria with BMD. CONCLUSIONS Independent of confounding factors, low BMD is associated with the functional marker of subclinical atherosclerosis (increased baPWV), but not with structural markers (ABI, CIMT, eGFR or microalbuminuria) among healthy females and males.
