Multivariable* Adjusted Genetic Correlations of Plasma Renin Activity with Osteocalcin and Bone Mineral Density
| Bone Measure | Heritability | Plasma Renin Activity (H2r ± SE = 0.515 ± 0.10) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| (H2r ± SE) | ρG | ρG P-value | |
| Total OC (ug/l) | 0.727 ± 0.11 | −0.230 | 0.148 |
| Whole Body BMD (g/cm2) | 0.623 ± 0.12 | −0.394 | 0.023 |
| Total Hip BMD (g/cm2) | 0.696 ± 0.10 | −0.051 | 0.755 |
| Cortical BMD (g/cm3) | 0.444 ± 0.12 | −0.266 | 0.148 |
| Trabecular BMD (g/cm3) | 0.622 ± 0.11 | −0.266 | 0.139 |
Multivariable models include 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.
H2r: residual genetic heritability estimate after adjustment; ρG estimated genetic bivariate correlation.
