Osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease: a review

CONCLUSION: There is emerging evidence that individuals with osteoporosis are also at an increased risk of coronary artery disease and stroke even after controlling for other factors. The traditional risk factors for cardiovascular disease also predispose people to developing osteoporosis, suggesting that the same mechanism may be causing the two. Moreover, a number of anti-osteoporotic drugs have also been largely linked with cardiovascular disease. This calls for a change in the view of osteoporosis as a metabolic disease but as a cardio-metabolic disorder thereby emphasizing the need for intensified preventive strategies for the disease.PMID:36449152 | DOI:10.1007/s11033-022-08088-4
