Some studies suggest that the relationship between osteoporosis and vascular calcification may stem from the dysregulation of common factors that are implicated in both bone remodeling and the formation of calcified vascular plaques.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our primary endpoint was to evaluate the correlation between bone mineral density and calcification score. Our secondary endpoint was to analyse the association between potential shared serum biomarkers and the calcification score or bone status.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted a retrospective study between May and October 2015 in 94 patients who had undergone a thoracic CT scan, to assess their coronary risk by calculating an Agatston score. The scans were re-analysed to obtain volumetric bone mineral densities (vBMD). We measured osteoprotegerin, FGF23 and sclerostin in frozen serums from these patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients with a calcium score of 0 had a significantly higher vBMD than patients with a calcium score\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090 (187.7 vs. 162.1, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> 0.03). This relationship persisted after adjusting for age, sex, BMI and sedentarity (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> 0.036).
