Fig. 2. — Quantile regression model of ultrasound-based bone parameters by sex hormones.

Predicted median levels of speed of sound (SOS), frequency-dependent attenuation of the sound waves (BUA) and stiffness index illustrated as ordinate (predicted values) by androstenedione, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS), testosterone, free testosterone and estrone levels in the men (M) and women (W). Quantile regression models were adjusted for age, smoking status, physical inactivity, waist circumference, hypertension, calcium and total cholesterol. Non-linear associations were assessed using restricted cubic splines.
