Baseline (ln) uncarboxylated osteocalcin Baseline percentage uncarboxylated osteocalcin Baseline (ln) total osteocalcin Baseline (ln) carboxylated osteocalcin
3-y change in HOMA-IR 0.20 ± 0.19 0.01 ± 0.01 −0.23 ± 0.39 −0.91 ± 0.29
P value 0.29 0.02 0.56 0.002
3-y change in insulin (mU/mL) 0.70 ± 0.65 0.05 ± 0.02 −0.82 ± 1.33 −2.99 ± 1.02
P value 0.28 0.03 0.54 0.004
3-y change in glucose (mg/dL) −0.32 ± 1.26 0.04 ± 0.05 −2.70 ± 2.59 −4.24 ± 1.99
P value 0.80 0.34 0.30 0.03

All values are mean ± SE unstandardized B-coefficients and are calculated on the basis of multiple linear regression, adjusted for sex, age, race, baseline HOMA-IR, insulin or glucose, smoking, physical activity, percentage body fat at baseline, 3-y change in percentage body fat, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D at baseline, and 3-y change in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D.
