The Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals across Q2 to Q4 compared with Q1. P-trends were calculated from the associations of per 1 standard deviation increase in green space with incident fracture.

b

Model 1: adjusted for baseline age, sex, marital status, education level, socioeconomic status, alcohol drinking, smoking, body mass index, physical activity, calcium supplement, number of chronic diseases, previous history of fracture, and family history of fracture.

c

Model 2: model 1 plus baseline whole body bone mineral density.
