Mean Bone Density by Adiponectin Quartile Based on Walking Status

	Walkers		Wheelchair users

	Mean BMD (g/cm²) ± SE	p for trend	Mean BMD (g/cm²) ± SE	p for trend
Adiponectin quartiles (mg/dL)		0.87^*		0.002^*
Quartile 1 (≤0.3350)	0.897 ± 0.032		0.776 ± 0.033
Quartile 2 (0.3350 to ≤0.4916)	0.901 ± 0.031		0.703 ± 0.035
Quartile 3 (0.4916 to ≤0.7336)	0.852 ± 0.031		0.703 ± 0.032
Quartile 4 (>0.7336)	0.910 ± 0.035		0.616 ± 0.032

Mean bone density was obtained from a repeated measures regression model based on proximal tibia, distal femur, total hip, and femoral neck BMD. Adiponectin quartiles based on its distribution in the entire cohort.

BMD=bone mineral density.

Adjusted for lean mass (kg).
