1 Hazard ratios (95% CI) for fracture-related hospitalisation by vegetable serve intake analysed using Cox proportional hazard models. Vegetable serves were calculated based on the 2013 Australian Dietary Guidelines of a vegetable serve equal to 75 g/day; 2 Test for trend conducted using median value for each vegetable serve category (1.6, 2.5, and 3.6 serves/day); 3 Multivariable-adjusted model included age, BMI, treatment code, prevalent diabetes mellitus, socioeconomic status, physical activity, smoking history, and energy, protein, calcium, and alcohol intake.
