Table 2.

Relationships of several measures of bone mineral density (dependent variables) with serum reproductive hormone concentrations, body composition, and physical activity by stepwise multiple regression

FSH LH P E InhB Age LBMI Fat, % LTPA Model (r2, P)
Total BMD −0.26 0.34 0.44 0.52 0.65, <0.0001
Total hip −0.41 0.32 0.23, 0.01
Femoral neck −0.42 0.32 0.31, 0.002
Total lumbar −0.52 0.27, 0.001

Values are standardized regression coefficients for each statisitically significant independent variable. The last column of the table provides the r2 and P values for each of the overall regression models. Independent variables: FSH, LH, progesterone (P), estradiol (E), inhibin-B (InhB), age, LBMI, %fat, and LTPA.
