An Open Clinical Trial to Assess the Influence of Newly Prescribed Aminobiphosphonates on Arterial Stiffness (Changes of the Aortal Elasticity Due to a Newly Established Aminobiphosphinate Therapy for the Treatment of Osteoporosis)

The study tries to reveal if aminobisphosphonates influence aside the bone density also the vascular status in the typical elderly patient population
