Osteoporosis and the long-term risk of peripheral artery disease: a population-based longitudinal follow-up study in Taiwan
ConclusionThis study found an increased long-term risk of PAD in both men and women with osteoporosis.Mini abstractOsteoporosis has been associated with increased risks of atherosclerotic diseases. However, the relationship between osteoporosis and peripheral artery disease remains uncertain. The present population-based longitudinal follow-up study showed that patients with osteoporosis are at an increased risk of developing peripheral artery disease.

Increased risk of cardiovascular events in end-stage renal disease patients with osteoporosis: a nationwide population-based cohort study

Calcium Supplements Increase Risk of Myocardial Infarction
Abstract The cardiovascular safety of calcium supplements has been revisited with a further meta‐analysis,(1) which concludes that calcium supplementation does not increase coronary heart disease in women, without providing data for men. Their conclusion is at odds with that of our meta‐analyses, which reported that calcium increased the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and possibly stroke in men and women together.(2,3)There are important differences between approaches to the meta‐analyses. In the current paper and previously, the authors suggest that including men and self‐reported events may have explained the...
