Results of Multivariate Regression Analysis on K and H by Reciprocal of Conn.D, SMI, and DA
| Response | Coefficients of independent parameters | R2 | p value | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BV/TV | Tb.Th | Tb.Sp | Conn.D−1 | SMI−1 | DA−1 | Intercept | |||
| ln(K) | −44.99 | −0.0006 | −0.00572 | 9.83 | 11.1 | 11.56 | −6.22 | 76.48% | 0.000 |
| ln(H) | −5.65 | −0.01973 | −0.001596 | 5.10 | 13.34 | −2.44 | 2.89 | 46.86% | 0.080 |
BV/TV = bone volume over total volume; Conn.D = connectivity density; DA = degree of anisotropy; SMI = structure model index; Tb.Sp = trabecular spacing; Tb.Th = trabecular thickness.
