Sept. 29, 2025 — Many studies have shown the inverse relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) — the gold standard measure for osteopenia/osteoporosis and coronary calcium (CAC) — a biomarker of heart attack and stroke risk. For example, mild (osteopenia) or more severe (osteoporosis) low BMD is associated with elevated CAC/cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. A new NIH-funded long term longitudinal study stratifies this association — showing …
