  • Boldface values are statistically significant.

  • Model 1: unadjusted model. Model 2: adjusted for age, BMI, current smoking status, alcohol intake (≥3 units/day), parental history of hip fracture, and secondary osteoporosis. Model 3: adjusted for FN-BMD, in addition to the risk factors included in model 2.

  • BMD, bone mineral density; BMI, body mass index; FN-BMD, BMD at femur neck; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; S1P, sphingosine 1-phosphate.
