A Population-based Study of the Prevalence of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in Relation to Bone Mineral Density: The Tromso Study
In a population-based study of 2,586 men and 2,806 postmenopausal women aged 55–74 years in Tromsø, Norway, in 1994–1995, associations between the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysms and bone mineral density were examined. The presence of an abdominal aortic aneurysm was assessed by ultrasonogr...

In postmenopausal women aged 55–64 years (nine cases of aneurysm), the adjusted odds ratio for abdominal aortic aneurysm was 0.42 (95% confidence interval: 0.19, 0.95) for each standard-deviation increase in bone mineral density.
