	β	95%CI	p-Value	R2
Unadjusted	−0.207	(−0.351, −0.063)	0.005	0.0083

Model 1 adjusted for vertebral bone attenuation, age, race, and body mass index.

Model 2 adjusted for Model 1 + hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes.

Model 3 adjusted for Model 2 + alcohol drinking and smoking.

CAC = coronary artery calcification; VBD = Vertebral bone density.
