Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (VCF) are very common spinal fragility fractures affecting the elderly, with an incidence reaching 700,000 elderly per year, affecting up to 25% of individuals over 70 and 50% over 80 years old. These symptoms typically appear in postmenopausal women and men...

Objective: Vascular stiffness has long been linked with the ageing process. However, it is only since the development of accurate methods for measuring arterial compliance that unravelling this relationship has become possible. Arterial stiffening over time appears to differ between ethnic groups and/or...
