Age-, weight-, and height-adjusted partial correlation coefficients (r_p) for serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D in relation to BMD measures by race/ethnicity, BACH/Bone Survey, 2002–2005

	Black		Hispanic		White
	rp	P value	rp	P value	rp	P value
Hip: femoral neck	−0.03	0.653	0.07	0.360	0.12	0.044
Hip: trochanter	−0.01	0.853	0.06	0.375	0.13	0.009
Hip: total	−0.06a	0.387	0.07	0.301	0.11	0.034
Spine: L1–L4	−0.10a	0.106	−0.05a	0.445	0.12	0.024
Forearm: distal radius	−0.01	0.867	0.07	0.325	0.00	0.951
Forearm: ultradistal radius	−0.02	0.766	0.02	0.799	0.14	0.008

P values shown test whether the correlation between BMD outcome and 25(OH)D within each race and ethnic group is 0. 

^aP < 0.05 vs. White from an individual test comparing correlations in Black men or Hispanic men with those in White men.
