The co-occurrence of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis prompted us to review the evidence of an association between cardiovascular CV disease and osteoporosis and potential shared common pathophysiological mechanisms. Methods A systematic literature search Medline Pubmed and Embase was conducted to identify all clinical studies that investigated the association between cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Relevant studies were screened for quality according to guidelines as proposed by the Dutch Cochrane Centre and evidence was summarized. Results Seventy studies were included in this review. Due to a large heterogeneity in study population design and outcome measures a formal meta-analysis was not possible. Six of the highest ranked studies mean n 2 000 showed that individuals with prevalent subclinical CV disease had higher risk for increased bone loss and fractures during follow-up compared to persons without CV disease range of reported risk hazard ratio HR odds ratio OR to . The largest study n 31 936 reported a more than four times higher risk in women and more than six times higher risk in men. There is moderate evidence that individuals with low bone mass had higher CV mortality rates and incident CV events than subjects with normal bone mass risk rates to . Although the shared common pathophysiological mechanisms are not fully elucidated the most important factors that might explain this association .
