Purpose.
This study analyzes the association between the bony microarchitecture score (trabecular bone score, TBS) and coronary artery calcification (CAC) in adults undergoing health exams.
Materials and Methods.
We retrospectively collected subjects ( N = 81 ) who underwent coronary computed tomography and bone mineral density studies simultaneously.
CAC was categorized to three levels (Group 0, G0, no CAC, score = 0, N = 45 ; Group 1, G1, moderate CAC, score = 1–100, N = 17 ; Group 2, G2, high CAC, score ≧ 101, N = 19 ).
Multinomial logistic regression was used to study the association between TBS and CAC levels.
Results.
CAC is present in 44.4% of the population.
Mean TBS ± SD was 1.399 ± 0.090 .
Per 1 SD increase in TBS, the unadjusted odds ratio (2.393) of moderate CAC compared with no CAC was significantly increased (95% CI, 1.219–4.696, p = 0.011 ).
However, there has been no association of TBS with high CAC (OR: 1.026, 95% CI: 0.586–1.797, p = 0.928 ).
These relationships also existed when individually adjusted for age, sex, and multiple other covariates.
Conclusions.
Higher TBS was related to moderate CAC, but not high CAC; a possible explanation may be that bone microarchitecture remodeling becomes more active when early coronary artery calcification occurs.
However, further researches are needed to clarify this pathophysiology.
