Association of Circulating Wnt Antagonists With Severe Abdominal Aortic Calcification in Elderly Women.

Context: There is great interest in the biology of vascular calcification. Wnt/-catenin signaling is an important mediator of mineralization and may play a role in vascular calcification.

Objective: We assessed the association between circulating Wnt antagonists and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) severity in elderly women.
