AB The atherosclerosis that appears in coronary, cerebrovascular andperipheral arterial disease is responsible for most cardiovasculardiseases. It is characterized by chronic arterial inflammation causedand exacerbated by disorders of the lipidic metabolism and otherclearly identified risk factors [1]. Calcification, which is initiated by anactive process in which inflammatory cytokines and other mediatorsthat regulate the phospho-calcium metabolism intervene, is characteristicof atherosclerosis [2]. These mechanisms can intervene in anopposite phenomenon that takes place at the level of the bonecharacterized by a reduction in bone mineral content and alterationsin the microarchitecture that define osteoporosis. The associationbetween the two diseases, which share mechanisms but have adifferent expression, is noteworthy.
