Abbreviations: BMD, bone mineral density; CI, confidence interval; hs-CRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; IL-6, interleukin 6; RANKL, receptor activator of nuclear factor-κ B ligand; sCD14, soluble CD14; sCD163, soluble CD163; sIL-2R, soluble interleukin 2 receptor.

a Estimates represent the percentage change per doubling of the soluble biomarker level.

b Estimates represent the percentage change per 5% change in the cellular marker level.

c Estimates represent the percentage change per 1% change in the cellular marker level.
