Liu D, Chen L, Dong S, et al. - In this 5-year prospective study, researchers ascertained if low bone mass and the change of bone biomarker is correlated with the prevalence of calcified atherosclerotic plaque in a cohort of elderly Chinese participants. Via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scanning, BMD was measured. Using a 64-multidetector row scanner, carotid and cardiac computed tomography angiography were performed to evaluate carotid and cardiac arterial plaque at baseline and during follow-up. According to findings, lower BMD and change of bone metabolism biomarker was linked to a higher risk of carotid and cardiac calcified plaque development.
