Objectives: Loss of bone mass may affect the progression of atherosclerosis. We investigated the relationship between low bone mineral density (BMD) and subclinical atherosclerosis in rural China. Methods: In total, 333 men and 421 postmenopausal women aged 55-65 years were enrolled. BMD was measured in the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Subclinical atherosclerosis was defined as increased carotid artery intimamedia thickness (CIMT >= 0.9 mm), the presence of carotid plaques, high brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV >= 1,400 cm/s), and low ankle-brachial index (ABI
