Multivariable Adjusted^* Association of Serum Lipid or Lipoprotein Cholesterol Concentrations with BMD at Baseline

Skeletal Site	Unadjusted Mean (SD)	LDL-c (SD=40)	HDL-c (SD=13)	Triglycerides (SD=59)

Areal BMD (g/cm²)
Whole Body	1.27 (0.11)	0.003 (0.003)	0.003 (0.003)	−0.004 (0.003)
Total Hip	1.16 (0.15)	0.004 (0.004)	−0.002 (0.004)	0.001 (0.004)

Volumetric BMD (mg/cm³)
Cortical, Radius	1214 (24)	−1.01 (0.67)	0.55 (0.70)	−0.14 (0.68)
Cortical, Tibia	1178 (25)	−1.11 (0.72)	0.00 (0.75)	−0.29 (0.73)
Trabecular, Radius	208 (50)	4.79 (1.41)	−2.69 (1.49)	3.82 (1.44)
Trabecular, Tibia	227 (41)	4.45 (1.16)	−3.04 (1.22)	4.10 (1.17)

BOLD signifies statistically significant (p<0.05).

Values for multivariable models are presented as β(SE) difference in baseline BMD per 1 standard deviation (SD) higher baseline lipid or lipoprotein cholesterol concentration.

All models are adjusted for baseline age, height, body weight, smoking, alcohol intake, TV watching, diabetes, hypertension, CVD, cancer, having 3+ co-morbid diseases, health status, eGFR and genetic admixture
