Values shown are the percent difference in bone measure per 1 SD (4.5 ng/mL/h) greater plasma renin activity.
Base model includes adjustment for age, sex, height and weight.
Multivariable model includes adjustment for age, sex, height, weight, menopausal status, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, hypertensive medication, eGFR, diabetes, current smoking, drinking, walking and calcium supplementation.
