Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Subclinical atherosclerosis and osteoporosis are often present together in the same individual, but their common mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the pleiotropic relationship underlying coronary artery calcification (CAC) and estimated calcaneal bone mineral density (eBMD), providing molecular insights into their observed phenotypic associations. METHODS: Genetic correlation...
