ABSTRACT
To investigate the relationship between bone mineral density and cardiovascular disease, between aortic calcification, bone mineral density and fractures, and between vitamin D deficiency and risk of cardiovascular disease; describe the mortality rate after all types of osteoporotic fracture, and speculate about the role of osteoclast-like cells in arterial calcification.
Keywords: Bone mineral density; Cardiovascular disease; Fracture; Vitamin D.
