Bone geometry is correlated with arterial stiffness in overweight older adults with vitamin D insufficiency

Rodriguez Alexander , Xu Cecilia , McMillan Lachlan , Srikanth Velandai , Scott David , Ebeling Peter

Background: Vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency and adiposity have deleterious effects on skeletal health and can increase arterial stiffness. Additionally, low bone mass is associated with increased arterial disease, but little is known about the association of bone geometry with arterial disease.Objective: To determine the association between bone geometry and arterial stiffness in overweight (body mass index >25 kg/m2], older adults [50&...
