Multivariable-Adjusted HR Estimates for Incident Fracture by Fasting Plasma TG Levels at Baseline and in Time-Varying Analyses

TG level (mg/dl)	Number (%) of Repeat-Measures That Contributed to Fracture vs Nonfracture	Full Model HR (95% CI)a
		For Fracture Incidence 2 or More Y Later, Based on Baseline Fasting TG Level	Time-Varying Analyses: TG Level at Visit i and Fracture Risk 2–5 Y Later
			Single TG Level	Mean TG Level of 2 Consecutive Measuresb
<150	793 (73)/7776 (77)	1 (reference)	1 (reference)	1 (reference)
150–299	242 (22)/2067 (20)	0.89 (0.48–1.65)	1.13 (0.80–1.59)	1.03 (0.70–1.52)
≥300	49 (5)/298 (3)	2.48 (1.13–5.44)	1.94 (1.14–3.30)	2.21 (1.29–3.79)

^aFull model included age at baseline, race/ethnicity, study site, smoking, drinking, physical activity, menopausal stage (including exogenous hormone use), BMI, diabetes, and lumbar spine BMD.

^bMean TG level for TG at visit i and the last TG level measured before visit i in relation to fractures between i + 2 and i + 5 y.
