This study found an increased long-term risk of PAD in both men and women with osteoporosis. Osteoporosis has been associated with increased risks of atherosclerotic diseases. However, the relationship between osteoporosis and peripheral artery disease remains uncertain. The present population-based longitudinal follow-up study showed that patients with osteoporosis are at an increased risk of developing peripheral artery disease.
