Association between abdominal aortic calcification, bone mineral density and fracture in older women
In conclusion, older women with more marked AAC are at higher risk of fracture, not completely captured by bone structural predictors. These findings further support the concept that vascular calcification and bone pathology may share similar mechanisms of causation that remain to be fully elucidated.This article is protected by copyright.
