Values for all variables other than age were log transformed before analysis.

PTH: parathyroid hormone; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; DPD/Cr: urinary deoxypyridinoline corrected for urinary creatinine concentration; NTx/Cr: cross-linked N-telopeptide of type 1 collagen corrected for urinary creatinine concentration; BSI: bone balance status index. *Nonsignificant (P > 0.005) correlations when Bonferroni and Sidak adjustments for multiplicity were adopted.
