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.
