Multiple Logistic Regression Results for Dependent Variables of Fracture

Independent variables	Cortical		Cancellous
	β-coefficient	p	β-coefficient	p
Intercept	19.51	0.03	14.76	0.04
BMD (hip)	10.9	0.009
Crystallinity		NS	−5.24	0.03
XLR	−3.56	0.012	−2.38	0.002
Mineral/matrix	−3.37	0.04		NS
C/P		NS		NS

p < 0.001 for both whole model tests, R² = 0.58 (cortical); 0.66 (cancellous). A negative number for the coefficient indicates that a higher value is associated with the risk of fracture.

NS, not significant.
