    Bone mineral density (BMD) decline and coronary artery calcification (CAC) are significant age-related health issues globally.

  • 2

    Lower BMD is associated with higher CAC scores, indicating a potential link between bone loss and cardiovascular risk.

  • 3

    Previous studies have shown inconsistent results regarding the relationship between BMD and CAC, necessitating further analysis.

  • 4

    This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to clarify the association between BMD and CAC using updated data and robust methods.

  • 5

    The study adheres to PRISMA guidelines and focuses on observational studies assessing BMD as the primary exposure and CAC as the primary outcome.
