Model 1: Age, gender, height, smoking frequency, vitamin D, ALP and PTH levels, FEV1 (%), physical inactivity level. Model 2: Model 1 plus weight. Model 3: Model 1 plus BMI. Model 4: Model 1 plus weight and BMI. BMD, bone mineral density; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; PTH, parathyroid hormone; BMI, body mass index.
