García Alonso, Manuel Francisco Hipertension Arterial - Tratamiento Producción Científica Arterial hypertension is a chronic disease in which prevalence increases with age, as occurs in osteoporosis. It is clinically silent and is only revealed in the form of complications, an aspect that it also shares with osteoporosis. Various alterations of calcium metabolism have been described in association with hypertension; such alterations can cause decreased bone mass, the principal determining factor of fracture.1,2 Another important factor is the occurrence of falls. Hypertensive patients may experience a greater number of falls resulting from fainting associated with diminished baroreflex sensitivity or hypotension secondary to therapy.3,4 The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of hypertension and its various therapeutic alternatives on the risk of hip fracture. 2014-09-03 2015-09-03 2005 info:eu-repo/semantics/article American Journal of Hypertension, Enero 2005, vol. 18, n. 1, p. 146-147 0895-7061 http://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/5813 10.1016/j.amjhyper.2004.08.016 146 1 147 American Journal of Hypertension 18 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Universidad de Valladolid.
