Model 1 is adjusted for age and sex. Model 2 is adjusted for age, sex, height, and weight (ln). β-Coefficients represent the increase (positive values) or decrease (negative values) in the trait per addition of minor allele. SNPs are ordered by effect size as reported by the Genetic Factors of Osteoporosis Consortium (8) or Ref. 6 for rs3018362. 

a

P < 0.05. 

b

P < 0.0021.
