Popis: Aim. To study associations between arterial stiffness and bone mineral density in postmenopausal women.Material and methods. The intima-media thickness (IMT), the presence and number of atherosclerotic plaques (AP) were studied using duplex scanning. Pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index (AI) were measured by applanation. The Bone mineral density (BMD) of the spine, hip neck (HN) and proximal hip (PH) was measured using double energy x-ray absorptiometry.Results. A significant correlation of PWV with age, duration of menopause was revealed, a more pronounced correlation was noted with blood pressure (BP), maximum IMT thickness. There was no significant correlation between PWV and BMD. AI showed a statistically significant but weak negative correlation with the HN (rs=0.12, p
