Model 1 was crude. Model 2 was adjusted for age, sex, parental history of osteoporosis diagnosis or fracture, body mass index, bone mineral density of the femoral neck, and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Model 3 was adjusted for current smoking, alcohol intake, daily calcium intake, and physical activity in addition to Model 2's variables.
