Abstract

Although suspected, relationships between sex steroids and bone mineral density (BMD) are not fully defined in male population. According to recent data there may also exist an association between low BMD and atherosclerosis. Our aim was to investigate relationships between serum sex steroids and BMD, and between BMD and atherosclerosis in men with coronary artery disease (CAD). We recruited for the study 55 men aged 40-60 years with angiographically confirmed CAD and 30 healthy, age-matched controls. In each of the examined subjects serum levels of total testosterone (T), estradiol (E(2)), estrone and DHEA-S, as well as femoral neck, lumbar spine and total skeleton BMD were measured. We found that the prevalence of osteopenia/osteoporosis recognized on spine and/or femoral BMD (T-score below -1.0) did not differ between men with CAD and healthy controls (respectively 47% versus 47%; p=0.8 in chi(2) Yates test). The mean BMD value at different regions did not differ between both groups either. Hormonal status of men with CAD and normal BMD was similar to men with CAD and osteopenia/osteoporosis except for the level of testosterone. After adjustment for age and BMI, men with lower BMD had lower testosterone and lower T/E(2) rati...Continue Reading
