Previous studies have shown that hypertension is related to abnormalities of calcium metabolism such as increased calcium losses from kidney and secondary activation of parathyroid glands. In animal studies, high blood pressure (BP) has been shown to increase the risk of bone mineral loss; however whether hypertension is associated with reduced bone mineral content (BMC) in human beings is inconclusive. The relationship between BP and BMC has not been previously studied in Hispanic individuals.
