1

Linear regression coefficient;

2

p-value refers to linear regression.

3

Categorized using World Health Organization cutoff points, normal WC: < 80 cm for women and < 94 cm for men; increased WC: ≥ 80 cm for women and ≥ 94 cm for men.

4

R2 refers to the outcome variation explained by the models.

Model 1 was adjusted only for osteocalcin and the interaction between BMD and WC, Model 2 was further adjusted for physical activity, smoking, alcohol intake, sex, age and skin color. All the multiple models were statically significant (p-value < 0.001).

CI: confidence interval; HOMA: homeostatic model assessment; HOMA1-IR: insulin resistance; HOMA2-S: insulin sensitivity; HOMA2-β: β-cell function (insulin secretion); WC: waist circumference; BMD: bone mineral density.
