Femoral Neck BMD According to Birth Weight in Men

Lowest Third Birth Weight Middle Third Birth Weight Highest Third Birth Weight
Current smoker 0.77 (0.09) 0.89 (0.14) 0.87 (0.13)
n = 23 n = 24 n = 26
Ex-smoker 0.85 (0.12) 0.86 (0.12) 0.86 (0.12)
n = 83 n = 81 n = 91
Never smoked 0.84 (0.12) 0.85 (0.13) 0.85 (0.10)
n = 51 n = 67 n = 49
p = 0.04 (p = 0.18 adjusted)

Figures given are mean femoral neck BMD (g/cm2) with standard deviations in parentheses. The p-values given are for the interaction between current smoker and birth weight, with and without adjusting for age, BMI, dietary calcium and social class.
