a

For the MrOS cohort: 1 missing total hip BMD, 2 missing height, 3 missing PASE, 1 missing health status, 38 missing eGFR, 6missing vitamin D supplement use, 18 missing falls, 34 missing chair stands without using arms.

b

No data for overall MrOS cohort (n = 5994) because vitamin D measures were not obtained from everyone.

c

This cohort includes incident fracture cases (n = 321) and random sample (n = 679).
