Age-related osteoporosis and atherosclerosis is promoted by life style-related diseases such as dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus. Common factors pathophysiologically involved in both osteoporosis and vascular calcification include senescent cells and osteoprotegerin(OPG). Dyslipidemia may impair both osteoclast and osteoblast function,thereby causing osteoporosis. Statins may have favorable effect on bone. Some anti-osteoporotic medications have also been suggested to show protective effect from atherosclerosis.
