BMD bone mass density, GI glycemic index, GL glycemic load, II insulin index, IL insulin load, CQI carbohydrate quality index, LCDS low-carbohydrate diet score

Model 1: adjusted for BMI and age

Model 2: additionally adjusted for income, education, physical activity, calcium, and vitamin D supplement

These values are shown as odds ratio (95% CIs)

Obtained from logistic regression

P-values marked with bold indicate statistically significant p-values
