Table 3. Associations Between TBS and LS-VBMD: Adjusted for BMI, Trunk Fat Mass, or Trunk Lean Mass and Stratified by TBS Category.

TBS category (n= 3479)
Degraded (TBS=0.74–1.20) (n=807) Partially degraded (TBS=1.21–1.34) (n =1747) Normal (TBS= 1.35–1.63) (n = 925)
Model 1
 TBS 0.29 (0.20–0.37) 0.47 (0.36–0.58) 0.73 (0.56–0.90)
 BMI 0.34 (0.28–0.40) 0.36 (0.32–0.41) 0.29 (0.21–0.36)
Model 2
 TBS 0.19 (0.11–0.28) 0.39 (0.27–0.51) 0.72 (0.55–0.89)
 Trunk fat mass 0.16 (0.10–0.22) 0.20 (0.15–0.25) 0.18 (0.10–0.26)
Model 3
 TBS 0.16 (0.08–0.24) 0.31 (0.19–0.42) 0.67 (0.50–0.85)
 Trunk lean mass 0.22 (0.17–0.28) 0.16 (0.11–0.20) 0.05 (–0.02 to 0.12)

Values are regression coefficients (95% confidence interval). The measure of association was the standardized magnitude of effect; ie, beta coefficient from regression models using standardized variables for independent and dependent variables. All regression models were adjusted for age and clinical site. TBS= trabecular bone score; LS-VBMD=lumbar spine (trabecular) volumetric BMD.
