Osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease are major public health problems. A number of clinical studies have shown a link between osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease, but there is no information on the associations of risk of osteoporotic fracture with vascular function and vascular structure.Methods and Results:The risk of major osteoporotic fracture was calculated using the World Health Organization fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX); vascular function was assessed using flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) and nitroglycerine-induced vasodilation (NID), and vascular structure was assessed on brachial artery intima-media thickness (IMT) in 414 subjects (241 men and 173 women) who underwent health examinations. On univariate regression, FRAX was negatively correlated with FMD (total, r=-0.16, P&lt;0.001; men, r=-0.19, P=0.003; women, r=-0.25, P&lt;0.001) and NID (total, r=-0.22, P&lt;0.001; men, r=-0.19, P=0.003; women, r=-0.30, P&lt;0.001) and was positively correlated with brachial artery IMT (total, r=0.12, P=0.02; men, r=0.22, P&lt;0.001; women, r=0.33, P&lt;0.001). On multivariate analysis FRAX remained an independent predictor of FMD, NID, and brachial artery IMT in both men and women.
