Hypertension ( HTN ) and osteoporosis are associated with the development progress of atherosclerosis. However, little research has been conducted to examine relationship between arterial stiffness bone mineral density BMD in men . This cross‐sectional study recruited 355 353 control patients without Brachial‐ankle pulse wave velocity (ba PWV measurements were performed. was decreased ba elevated compared (femoral neck [ FN ] groups 0.662±0.195 g/cm 2 0.713±0.204 , respectively P =.001], 1403.3±156.8 cm/s 1354.8±136.0 cm/s, <.001]). Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that negatively increased Reduced may be an independent factor for
