Table 1.

Pearson correlation coefficients for organ and tissue level properties and selected osteocyte lacunar characteristics. Coefficients with a p-value above the significance level of 0.05 are not shown. Coefficients with p < 0.01 are marked in bold.

The three measures of mineralization density, aBMD, ρ_tiss, and ρ_mat are all inter-correlated with r lying in the range of 0.45–0.72 (p < 0.01). The ρ_mat is somewhat correlated to the osteocyte lacunar characteristics (0.43 < |r| < 0.48) with the exception of Lc.V, while aBMD and ρ_tiss are not. Lc.V only correlates to Lc.St (r = 0.74, p < 0.01). Lc.St. also correlates positively to S(Lc.Or(z)) (r = 0.60, p < 0.01) and negatively to S(Lc.Or(xy)) (r = − 0.81, p < 0.01). Moreover, S(Lc.Or(xy)) exhibit a positive correlation to Lc.D (r = 0.70, p < 0.01), negative correlations to Lc.Ob (r = −0.81, p < 0.01) and S(Lc.Or(z)) (r = −0.64, p < 0.01), and a low negative correlation to TV (r = −0.31, p < 0.05).
