Research Abstract	Previous osteoporotic fracture, bone mineral density values, or bone turnover markers did not differ significantly between subjects with and without cardiovascular events in 15-year follow-up period of the Japanese Population-based Osteoporosis (JPOS) Cohort Study. In women aged younger than 65 year old at the 10-year follow-up survey, an annual change of ankle brachial index (ABI) during 5-year follow-up which is one of the index of atherosclerosis was significantly and positively correlated with an annual change of bone mineral density at the total hip and femoral neck during the same period independently of age, bone mineral density, and ABI values. Bone loss may be associated with advancing in atherosclerosis in women aged younger than 65 year old.
