BMI = body mass index; TBS‐BMI = trabecular bone score, adjusted for body mass index.

T‐score total defined as the lowest value between lumbar spine, femoral neck, and hip. Results are expressed as Pearson correlation coefficient (bivariate) and as standardized beta coefficient (multivariable). Multivariate analysis performed by linear regression adjusted for age (continuous), BMI (continuous), C‐reactive protein (continuous), and hormonal therapy (yes/no). Significant (p < 0.05) coefficients are indicated in bold.
