Abstract

Hypertension is the most common comorbidity in geriatric population. Increasing age is a risk factor for developing cardiovascular abnormalities and bone deformations. But hypertension can be predisposing factor for osteoarthritis/ osteoporosis. Bone disorders are more prevalent in hypertensive patients since they share a common pathophysiological mechanism and duration of hypertension is related with the severity of bone disorders. Also the drug therapy given to hypertensive patients might influence the bone health. A combination therapy given to hypertensive patients can slow down the bone proliferation and bone loss.
