Abstract
Osteoporosis has been linked to atherosclerotic diseases such as coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke. However, the relationship between osteoporosis and peripheral artery disease (PAD) has not been investigated. This study aims to evaluate the risk of PAD in patients with osteoporosis and the impact of sex on this association.
