^aCVD, cardiovascular disease; eBMD, estimated bone mineral density.

^bDenotes a statistically significant result.

Results are reported as sub-distribution hazard ratios (SHR) per 1-SD increment of eBMD obtained from Fine and Gray competing risks model. Model 1 is adjusted for age and sex. Model 2 is adjusted for age, sex, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, smoking status, alcohol intake frequency, physical activity, Townsend score, and educational level. Model 3: Model 2 + BMI.
