Outline of Final Research Achievements

We aimed to clear the effect of sclerostin adjusting Wnt signal to the association between bone and blood vessel. The subjects were community-dwelling men (n=446) and women (n=689), and their bone mass and index of arteriosclerosis were measured. In results, after adjusting confounding factors, a higher level of sclerostin was significantly correlated with a higher bone mass in both sexes, and a higher bone mass was significantly correlated with a higher index of arteriosclerosis.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

男女ともにスクレロスチンと骨量は正の関連を示したが、その関連は男性のほうがやや強い関連を示した。一方で、先行研究とは異なり、スクレロスチンと動脈硬化指数に有意な関連はなかった。本研究は、骨・血管連関の生理的多型性をWntシグナルのメカニズムを通して解明を試みたものであり、人類学的に意義がある。
