BMD, Bone mineral density; BP, Bisphosphonate; CS, Corticosteroids. Empty cells correspond to variables not included in the multivariate analysis because they were not significant at univariate analysis or to variables included in the multivariate analysis but not retained in the final model because they were no longer significant (for example, age).
