Factors Independently Associated With Maintaining BMD and Accelerated Bone Loss in Multivariate Models*

Maintained (N = 724) Accelerated (N = 1,022)
Age (per 5-yr increase) 0.62 (0.55–0.70) 1.00 (0.93–1.08)
Baseline weight (per 1 SD decrease) 0.77 (0.71–0.83) 0.91 (0.85–0.98)
Percent weight change (per 1 SD decrease) 0.54 (0.49–0.58) 2.40 (2.22–2.59)
Height loss since age 25 (per 1 SD increase) 1.02 (0.93–1.12) 1.11 (1.04–1.20)
Diabetes 0.48 (0.31–0.74) 1.24 (0.96–1.61)
Health behaviors Current smoker 0.47 (0.33–0.65) 1.08 (0.84–1.38)
Medication use (current) Estrogen 1.65 (1.36–2.01) 0.65 (0.51–0.83)
Chair stand (per 1 SD decrease) 1.14 (1.03–1.26) 0.99 (0.92–1.06)
Baseline mMMSE (per 1 SD increase) 1.19 (1.08–1.31) 1.06 (0.99–1.14)

* Each row represents OR with 95% CI from multivariate multinomial logistic regression model with women who experienced expected bone loss as the reference group.
