Binary logistic regression of estimated phytate, legumes, and nuts intake with respect to low BMD (t-score ≤ −1, dependent variable) using normal BMD (t-score > −1) as reference (O.R. = 1).
| Crude O.R. | 95% CI for (Crude O.R.) | p-Value | Adjusted * O.R. | 95% CI for (Adjusted * O.R.) | p-Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Estimated phytate intake | ||||||
| Tertile 1 (0–200 mg/day) | 1 | (reference) | <0.001 | 1 | (reference) | <0.001 |
| Tertile 2 (200–325 mg/day) | 0.29 | (0.15–0.59) | 0.001 | 0.32 | (0.16–0.66) | 0.002 |
| Tertile 3 (>325 mg/day) | 0.03 | (0.01–0.05) | <0.001 | 0.03 | 0.01–0.06 | <0.001 |
| Legumes (per servings/week) | 0.41 | (0.31–0.52) | <0.001 | 0.44 | 0.33–0.59 | <0.001 |
| Nuts (per servings/week) | 0.38 | (0.31–0.46) | <0.001 | 0.39 | 0.32–0.47 | <0.001 |
* Adjusted by age (years), BMI (kg/cm2), hip circumference (cm), waist circumference (cm), body fat (%), systolic blood pressure (mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (mmHg), MedDiet Score (14 points), vegetables (servings/week), fruits (servings/week), fish (servings/week), and butter (servings/week). Values are expressed as Odds Ratio (O.R.) and 95% Confidence Interval (CI).
