Many epidemiological studies show a positive connection between cardiovascular diseases
and risk of osteoporosis, suggesting a role of hyperlipidemia and/or hypercholesterolemia in …

Evidence from rodent models indicates that undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC), a
product of osteoblasts, is a hormone affecting insulin production by the pancreas and insulin …

Purpose The traditional belief that obesity is protective against osteoporosis has been
questioned. Recent epidemiologic studies show that body fat itself may be a risk factor for …

Purpose Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease may share the risk factors for low bone
mineral density (BMD), one of which is dyslipidemia. The association between serum …

BACKGROUND: Hypercholesterolaemia has been associated with low bone mineral density
(BMD) in some but not all studies. OBJECTIVES: To examine the influence of age …

Introduction and hypothesis Epidemiological observations suggest links between
osteoporosis and risk of acute cardiovascular events and vice versa. Whether the two …

Background: Body mass index (BMI) and bone mineral density (BMD) are positively
correlated in several studies, but few data relate bone density, lipid profile and …

Although epidemiological studies from the past two decades show a link between
atherosclerotic vascular disease and bone loss, that is independent of age, the mechanism …

Objective Experimental studies suggest that lipids affect bone metabolism. We aimed to
elucidate whether lipid levels are associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in a cohort of …

The latest data support the correlation of atherosclerosis and osteoporosis, indicating the
parallel progression of two tissue destruction processes with increased fatal and non-fatal …
