Effect of controlling for IL-6, TNF-α, or oxLDL on the adjusted associations of vBMD measures with incident in white men, the Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study.

BMD	N at risk (events)	Adjusted for risk factors^*Hazard Ratio (95% CI)	Adjusted for risk factors + IL-6, TNF-α, or oxLDL^**Hazard Ratio (95% CI)
Integral vBMD
IL-6	280 (62)	1.37 (1.01-1.86)^a	1.38 (1.02-1.88)^a
TNF-α	276 (63)	1.40 (1.04-1.89)^a	1.40 (1.04-1.89)^a
oxLDL	292 (66)	1.39 (1.04-1.87)^a	1.41 (1.05-1.89)^a
Cortical vBMD
IL-6	280 (62)	1.37 (1.02-1.85)^a	1.38 (1.02-1.86)^a
TNF-α	276 (63)	1.39 (1.03-1.86)^a	1.38 (1.03-1.85)^a
oxLDL	292 (66)	1.39 (1.04-1.85)^a	1.41 (1.05-1.88)^a

Models in men were adjusted for: age, study site, education, physical activity, Health ABC physical performance score, BMI, HDL, LDL, systolic blood pressure, glucose level, history of hypertension, and use of diabetes drugs.

^**

oxLDL models did not include LDL level due to the high correlation between the two measures.
