Multiple regression analysis for the percentage changes of BMD by serum zinc percentage change (+1SD).
| Odds Ratio | 95% CI | P-Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| for Lumbar BMD (+1SD) | 1.81 | 1.39–2.37 | <0.001 |
| for Total hip BMD (+1SD) | 1.77 | 1.37–2.23 | <0.001 |
| for Femoral neck BMD (+1SD) | 1.86 | 1.42–2.42 | <0.001 |
BMD: Bone mineral density; SD: Standard deviation; CI: Confidence interval. The regression models were adjusted for patient age, body mass index, and serum albumin and hemoglobin A1c levels at registration.
