Static and dynamic bone parameters stratified according to CAC = 0 versus CAC > 0
| CAC = 0, N = 64 | CAC > 0, N = 143 | P-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ObS/BS (%) | 1.54 ± 2.15 | 1.74 ± 3.43 | 0.26 |
| OcS/BS (%) | 1.49 ± 1.64 | 1.19 ± 1.26 | 0.25 |
| BFR/BS (mm3/cm2/year) | 1.85 ± 1.71 | 1.53 ± 2.27 | 0.05 |
| Ac.f. (year − 1) | 0.39 ± 0.36 | 0.33 ± 0.45 | 0.07 |
| BV/TV (%) | 20.32 ± 8.07 | 19.05 ± 7.31 | 0.27 |
Between-group comparisons for continuous variables were performed using ANOVA. CAC score, coronary artery calcification score; iPTH, intact parathyroid hormone; ObS/BS, osteoblasts/bone surface; OcS/BS, osteoclasts/bone surface; BFR/BS, bone formation rate/bone surface; Ac.f., activation frequency; BV/TV, bone volume/tissue volume.
