Multivariable-adjusted beta-coefficients for association between selected characteristics and kyphosis progression over 4.7 years

Predictors	β-estimate (95% CI)	p value
Baseline Cobb angle of kyphosis (per degree)	−0.05 (−0.07, −0.02)	<0.01
Age (per year)	−0.05 (−0.10, 0.01)	0.09
Change in weight (per kg)	−0.05 (−0.11, 0.01)	0.08
Family history of hyperkyphosis	0.12 (−0.73, 0.97)	0.78
Degenerative disc disease	0.60 (0.03, 1.17)	0.04
Hip BMD (per SD)^ (gm/cm**²)	−0.57 (−0.85, −0.28)	<0.01
Prevalent vertebral fracture	0.69 (−0.71, 2.09)	0.33
Incident vertebral fracture	1.59 (0.00, 3.19)	0.05

Model also adjusted for clinical site. All predictors are from the baseline visit except change in weight, which is the difference in weight between visit 1 and visit 2.
