Model 1: unadjusted analysis. Model 2: adjusted for age and sex. Model 3: adjusted for Model 2 + place of residence, income level, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia and previous fracture within 5 years. Model 4: adjusted for Model 3 + body mass index, chronic kidney disease, current smoking, alcohol consumption and regular exercise.

CD = Crohn’s disease, CI = confidence interval, HR = hazard ratio, IBD = inflammatory bowel disease, IR = incidence rate, PY = person-years, Ref. = reference, UC = ulcerative colitis.
