by Pearson’s analysis of base-10 logarithm transformed values of the 2 variables. BMI: body mass index; BMD: bone mass density; L.: lumbar; F.: femoral; CTX-1: C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen; BAP: bone-specific alkaline phosphatase; OPG: osteoprotegerin; RANKL: receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand; 8-OHdG: 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine. |
