Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to determine the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and blood pressure in 214 men, between 20-26 years of age. Although results showed diastolic blood pressure negatively related to femoral neck BMD, further studies would be required to determine the causal relation between elevated blood pressure and low bone mass.
