Objective  To investigate the changes of inflammatory factors and bone metabolism markers in postmenopausal women with H‐type hypertension and to assess the relationship between them.    Methods  Postmenopausal women who were diagnosed with osteoporosis were selected as observation objects. Participants were divided into three groups: only osteoporosis group (osteoporosis group), hypertension combined with osteoporosis group (hypertension group), and H‐type hypertension combined with osteoporosis group (H‐type hypertension group). The changes in bone mineral density and bone metabolic markers (osteocalcin [OC], procollagen type I N‐terminal propeptide (PINP), and C‐terminal cross‐linking telopeptide of type I collagen [CTX]) and inflammatory factors (interleukin‐6 [IL‐6] and tumor necrosis factor‐α [TNF‐α]) were compared among three groups.    Results  In the hypertension group and the H‐type hypertension group, the bone mineral density of the lumbar spine (0.647 ± 0.038  vs  0.638 ± 0.034  vs  0.668 ± 0.047,  P  < 0.05) and the femoral neck (0.567 ± 0.047  vs  0.552 ± 0.053  vs  0.618 ± 0.059,  P  < 0.05) was significantly lower than that in the osteoporosis group. The concentrations of CTX (266.61 ± 64.65  vs  293.09 ± 72.34  vs  235.48 ± 62.85,  P  < 0.05), IL‐6 (44.36 ± 6.45  vs  48.05 ± 8.04  vs  39.06 ± 7.95,  P  < 0.05) and TNF‐α (30.53 ± 6.28  vs  34.52 ± 7.15  vs  28.66 ± 6.19,  P  < 0.01) in the hypertension group and in the H‐type hypertension group were significantly higher than those in the osteoporosis group. The concentrations of OC (30.59 ± 6.43  vs  27.10 ± 6.51,  P  < 0.05) and PINP (36.36 ± 6.16  vs  33.16 ± 6.77,  P  < 0.05) in the H‐type hypertension group were increased dramatically. The concentration of CTX was positively correlated with the concentration of IL‐6 ( r  = 0.587,  P  < 0.01) and TNF‐α ( r  = 0.474,  P  < 0.01) and negatively related with the concentration of OC ( r  = −0.591,  P  < 0.01) and PINP ( r  = −0.646,  P  < 0.01) and the bone mineral density of the lumbar spine ( r  = −0.470,  P  < 0.01) and the femoral neck ( r  = −0.509,  P  < 0.01).    Conclusion  Higher concentration of serum CTX is found in postmenopausal women with H‐type hypertension, which is positively correlated with inflammatory factors. Besides, H‐type hypertension could further enhance the activity of osteoclasts and increase the expressions of inflammatory factors, resulting in the aggravation of osteoporosis.
