Background: The association between bone fracture and cardiovascular diseases is examined in this study. While basic research has established a connection between fractures and heart attacks through the linkage between bones and arteries, population studies have not provided clear evidence. The aim of the present study is to investigate the association between bone fracture and the occurrence of myocardial infarction in a natural population during long-term follow-up.

- - The study investigates the relationship between high blood pressure (hypertension) and fractures over time, focusing on whether hypertension increases the risk of future fractures and vice versa.
- - Data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey tracked over 10,000 adults from 1997 to 2015, using statistical models to analyze the risks associated with hypertension and fractures.
- - Findings revealed that a history of hypertension is linked to a higher risk of future fractures, but having a fracture does not significantly raise the risk of developing hypertension later on.
