Adjusted for age, education, and time interval between exam and NP assessment.
Bold values indicate statistical significance (P<0.05).
β corresponds to the change in cognitive test outcome associated with a 1 unit-increase in BMD.
BMD indicates bone mineral density; CI, confidence interval; HVOT, Hooper Visual Organization test; NP, neuropsychological.
