Peripheral Artery Disease and Osteoporosis
Journal Title: International Journal of Vascular Surgery and Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The frequency of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) increases with advancing age similar to that of osteoporosis [1], which is the most common bone disease worldwide and a growing public health issue for the aging population. Thus, a better understanding of osteoporosis and related problems are of utmost importance. According to World Health Organization criteria, diagnosis of osteoporosis is based on bone mineral density (BMD) values or presence of osteoporotic fractures [2].
