Italic font indicates ln-transformed dependent variables.

BMC= bone mineral content; aBMD= areal bone mineral density;

Arm= Non-dominant Arm; nbFFM= non-bone lean mass.

All models included gynecological age and height as independent variables (not shown), as well as Arm nbFFM and arm BLI, except models with Arm nbFFM* as the dependent variable, for which whole body nbFFM was entered.

For Adjusted Model R2 and t significance of β:

a

p<0.05;

b

p≤0.01;

c

p≤0.001.

If 0.05 ≤ p ≤0.10, and for Arm totBLI, p is noted as parenthetic superscript, unless <0.001.
