Abbreviations: AD, antidepressants (current, no/yes); BMD, bone mineral density. Notes: Multivariable model 1 is adjusted for age and weight. Final model is adjusted for age, weight, height, nutritional calcium intake, MDD status, current use of bisphosphonates and calcium or vitamin D supplements.
