There was an inverse association between bone mineral density and the risk of heart failure in apparently healthy individuals. The prospective association of bone mineral density measured as broadband ultrasound attenuation by quantitative ultrasound of the heel with incident heart failure events was explored in 13,666 apparently healthy persons 42 to 82 years of age in the UK with a mean follow-up of 9.3 years. The risk of heart failure decreased with increasing bone mineral density in analysis adjusting for age, sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, occupational social class, educational level, systolic blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol concentration, and body mass index.
