Table 2 . Multivariable regression analysis for each skeletal site considering the discordance between Z- score and T-scores as dependent variable.
Skeletal sites Independent variables |
Total Hip | Femoral Neck | Trochanter | Lumbar Spine |
Age (yr) | 0.023 | 0.032 | 0.016 | 0.036 |
BMI (kg/m2) | 0.012 | 0.015 | 0.017 | -0.005 |
Sex (female/male) | 0.33 | 0.35 | 0.47 | 0.21 |
The presented data are β values of each independent variable in any skeletal site. All β values were statistically significant (P value<0.001). The analyses are adjusted for city of living.
