Multivariable-adjusted beta coefficients for association between selected characteristics and baseline kyphosis^*

Predictors	β-estimate (95% CI)	p value
Age (per 5 years)	0.94 (0.31, 1.57)	<0.01
Weight (per kg)	−0.01 (−0.06, 0.05)	0.84
Family history of hyperkyphosis (yes/no)	3.51 (1.47, 5.55)	<0.01
Degenerative disc disease (yes/no)	2.01 (0.63, 3.39)	<0.01
Hip BMD (per SD) **	−1.21 (−1.95, −0.47)	<0.01
Prevalent vertebral fracture (yes/no)	6.04 (2.69, 9.40)	<0.01
