Correlation of Arterial Stiffness and Bone Mineral Density by Measuring Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity in Healthy Korean Women.

9) As in this study, a significant negative correlation was also found between lumbar BMD and vascular stiffness-measured by both AI and PWV-among obese African-American women (P=0.01); though the relationship was only marginally significant, vascular stiffness was also inversely proportional to the femoral neck BMD (P=0.05) and total hip BMD (P=0.06). 10) Frost et al. 21) found that PWV was significantly inversely proportional to femoral BMD but was not significantly correlated with lumbar BMD among postmenopausal women.
