Increased frequency of impaired fasting glucose and isolated systolic hypertension in Paget ’s disease of bone

ConclusionsOur study shows increased fasting glucose, systolic and pulse pressure levels as well as enhanced prevalence of impaired fasting glucose and isolated systolic hypertension in PDB, potentially accounting for increased cardiovascular mortality. Furthermore, our findings suggest high serum calcium and/or increased bone alkaline phosphatase as a link between PDB and cardio-metabolic disorders.
