P-activin A levels in relation to vascular calcification and BMD.

Agatston score	0	1–100	101–400	>400
Coronary arteries	196 (118–262)	239 (157–337)	226 (154–316)	267 (187–363)***,a
Thoracic aorta	196 (121–264)	203 (142–297)	233 (164–302)*,a	255 (173–363)***,a
BMD (mg/cm3)	Normal >120	Osteopenic 80–120		Osteoporotic <80
	210 (134–284)	222 (154–332)		203 (141–320)

Values are presented as median (interquartile range) p-activin A in pg/mL.

*P < 0.05 and ***P < 0.001, both compared with Agatston score of 0.
