Table 2. Association of BMD at different locations with anti-CarPA.
Location | BMD measure | Coefficient a | SE | P |
---|---|---|---|---|
LS | mg/cm2 | -0.02 | 0.01 | 0.16 |
Z-score | -0.18 | 0.12 | 0.14 | |
TH | mg/cm2 | -0.03 | 0.01 | 0.02 |
Z-score | -0.15 | 0.10 | 0.12 | |
MCP b | mg/cm2 | 0.00 | 0.01 | 0.59 |
BMD was measured either as mg/cm2 or as Z-scores, and anti-CarPA were considered as positive/negative.
a Multiple linear regression analysis including as covariates sex, body mass index (BMI), age at initiation, and menopause status
b Z-scores for BMD at MCP joints are not available
Abbreviations: SE: standard error of the coefficient.
