Изучить взаимосвязь параметров сосудистой жесткости и субклинического атеросклероза с минеральной плотностью кости (МПК) у женщин в постменопаузальном периоде.</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. В одномоментное исследование включены 107 пациенток в возрасте 45-82 года, наблюдавшихся амбулаторно и подписавших информированное согласие. В исследование не включали пациенток с любыми клиническими проявлениями атеросклероза, злокачественными заболеваниями, с заболеваниями, вызывающими вторичный остеопороз, принимающих препараты, влияющие на костный обмен и на показатели сосудистой жесткости. Толщина комплекса интима-медиа (КИМ), наличие и количество атеросклеротических бляшек (АБ) исследовались с помощью дуплексного сканирования. Скорость распространения пульсовой волны (СРПВ), индекс аугментации (ИА) измерялись методом аппланационной тонометрии (SphygmoCor). МПК позвоночника и проксимального отдела бедра измерялась с помощью двухэнергетической рентгеновской абсорбциометрии. Статистический анализ осуществлялся с помощью пакета прикладных программ Statistical Analysis System (USA).</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. С увеличением продолжительности менопаузы отмечалось постепенное увеличение СРПВ, ИА, толщины КИМ и снижение МПК. Максимальные показатели сосудистой жесткости и наиболее низкая МПК были выявлены после 10 лет менопаузы. Остеопороз был диагностирован у 27 (25%) пациенток, остеопения у 38 (36%), нормальный уровень МПК у 42 (39%). Риск снижения костной массы и развития остеопороза возрастал в 3 раза при высоких значениях СРПВ (≥10 м/с) (р4 раза при ИА ≥20% (р9 мм (р=0,02) и в 2,45 раза при наличии АБ в сонных артериях (р=0,03). В ходе многомерного регрессионного анализа отрицательная связь между ИА, толщиной КИМ и МПК сохранялась, в то время как ассоциация между СРПВ, наличием АБ не подтвердилась.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. С увеличением продолжительности менопаузы отмечалось увеличение параметров сосудистой жесткости СРПВ, ИА, толщины КИМ и потеря костной массы. Снижение МПК у женщин в постменопаузе ассоциируется с высокими показателями СРПВ, ИА, толщины КИМ и количеством АБ, однако независимыми маркерами низкой костной массы показали себя только ИА и толщина КИМ. </p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim. To study relation of vessel wall stiffness parameters and subclinical atherosclerosis with mineral density of bone (MDB) in postmenopausal women.</p></sec><sec><title>Material and methods</title><p>Material and methods. Into a simultaneous study were included 107 patients at the age 45-82 y.o., being monitored in outpatient circumstances and signed informed consent. We did not include patients with any clinical sign of atherosclerosis, malignancies, secondary osteoporosis causing diseases, as those who had been taking drugs influencing calcium metabolism or vessel wall stiffness parameters. The intima-media complex (IMC), presence of absence of atherosclerotic lesions (AL) were studied via duplex scanning. Pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index (AI) were measured by application tonometry (SphygmoCor). MDB of the spine and of proximal femur was measured via double energetic x-ray absorptiometry. Statistics done with the software by Statistical Analysis System (USA).</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. With the increase of menopause duration, there was gradual increase of PWV, AI, IMC and decrease of MDB. Maximal values of vessel stiffness and the highest MDB were found in 10 years after menopause. Osteoporosis was diagnosed in 27 (25%) of patients, osteopenia in 38 (36%), normal MDB in 42 (39%). The risk of bone mass decrease and of osteoporosis development increased 3 times in higher values of PWV (≥10 m/s) (р&lt;0,05), more than 4 times in AI ≥20% (р&lt;0,05) and IMC thickness &gt;9 mm (р=0,02) and in 2,45 times if AL in carotid arteries were found (p=0,03). During multifactor regression analysis, negative relation of AI, IMC thickness and MDB remained, though association with PWV and AL was not proven.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. With the increase of menopause duration there was increase of vessel rigidity parameters PWV, AL, IMC thickness and bone mass loss. Decrease of MDB in postmenopausal women is associated with high values of PWV, IA, IMC thickness and AL amount, but as independent predictors of low bone mass were only AI and IMC.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>минеральная плотность кости</kwd><kwd>скорость распространения пульсовой волны</kwd><kwd>индекс аугментации</kwd><kwd>комплекс интима-медиа</kwd><kwd>постменопауза</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>mineral density of bone</kwd><kwd>pulse wave velocity</kwd><kwd>augmentation index</kwd><kwd>intima-media complex</kwd><kwd>postmenopause</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Lampropoulos CE, Papaioannou I, Cruz D.
