Association between BMD and Colorectal Neoplasms by Multivariate Logistic Regression Analysis

Variable Normal BMD (n=1,178), No. (%) Osteopenia (n=792) Osteoporosis (n=139)
No. (%) Adjusted OR (95% CI) p-value No. (%) Adjusted OR (95% CI) p-value
Adenoma 457 (38.8) 368 (46.5) 1.21 (0.97–1.51) 0.092 81 (58.3) 1.65 (1.11–2.46) 0.014
3 or more adenoma 75 (6.4) 64 (8.1) 1.17 (0.80–1.72) 0.423 20 (14.4) 2.05 (1.14–3.69) 0.016
Advanced neoplasia* 42 (3.6) 35 (4.4) 1.41 (0.85–2.32) 0.183 8 (5.8) 1.92 (0.82–4.49) 0.133
High-risk adenoma 107 (9.1) 88 (11.1) 1.18 (0.85–1.65) 0.322 25 (18.0) 1.94 (1.14–3.29) 0.014
SSL, TSA, or HP ≥10 mm 70 (5.9) 36 (4.5) 0.80 (0.53–1.21) 0.293 8 (5.8) 1.04 (0.49–2.22) 0.921

Other covariates with p-values <0.1 in the univariate analyses were adjusted in the multivariate analyses.

BMD, bone mineral density; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; SSL, sessile serrated lesion; TSA, traditional serrated adenoma; HP, hyperplastic polyp.

*Advanced neoplasia was defined as (1) largest diameter ≥10 mm, (2) confirmed tubulovillous or villous histology, and (3) high grade dysplasia or invasive colorectal cancer; High-risk adenoma was defined as (1) advanced neoplasia and (2) the presence of 3 or more adenomas.
