Logistic regression analysis.

The 10/11-year-olds were fifth-grade elementary school students, whereas the 14/15-year-olds were third-year junior high school students.

OR, odds ratio; p, probability value; % fat, body fat ratio; % muscle, body muscle ratio; OSI, osteo-sono assessment index; BAP, bone specific alkaline phosphatase; NTX, type I collagen cross-linked N-telopeptide.
