Analysis reveals bone and vascular disorders impact mortality in differing populations, suggesting shared risk factors.

This research examines the relationship between bone metabolism, vascular calcifications, and mortality in chronic kidney disease and the general population.
Compared bone and vascular disorders between general population and dialysis patients.
Analyzed mortality rates related to vascular calcifications and fractures.
Evaluated age as a primary variable influencing reported outcomes.
Higher prevalence of vascular calcifications linked to increased mortality in both populations.
Progression of vascular calcification associated with bone fractures and higher mortality.
Age was a significant factor, but certain associations persisted after age adjustments.

García et al. (2005) studied this question.
