Model 1	1.014 ± 0.01	1.032 ± 0.01	1.056 ± 0.01	0.19
Model 2	1.021 ± 0.01	1.039 ± 0.01	1.044 ± 0.01	0.64

Model 1: BMI, glucose, and creatinine adjusted. Model 2: further adjustment for gender, current smoking and medications (antiresorptive agents/calcium/vitamin D supplementation; statins; antihypertensives; anticoagulants; oral antidiabetics).

WB-BMD, whole-body bone mineral density; BMI, body mass index.
