“…However, COPD itself may be a risk factor for osteoporosis and this may be related to systemic inflammation. Using computed tomography (CT) to determine bone density of thoracic vertebrae, there is a significant correlation between CT-measured emphysema and bone density, supporting the view that osteoporosis is related to emphysema [126]. There is some evidence that osteoporosis is also associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease in patients without COPD [109].…”

“…Additionally, systemic inflammation, the use of systemic corticosteroids and the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, which are frequently observed in more severe stages of COPD, unequivocally contribute to a further loss of bone and muscle mass [43,45]. Observational studies also suggest that emphysema represents a particular phenotype that is associated with musculoskeletal impairment but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear [46][47][48]. Bone tissue is continuously renewed throughout life.…”
